"The Basis of Hope"

[jerrytsuseer]

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
Knives, bludgeons, Ropes, swords, axes…
None of those kill people, not without
A person wielding the weapon.
It is a dismal prospect.
 
However,
People SAVE people, people HELP people.
People with Compassion, people who Care, people
Who have a conscience.
 
People who have a
Heart.
People who will go out of their
Way, step across the street to help someone…
ALL THESE THINGS,
Show that there IS TRULY HOPE for our race!
 
Giving, Sharing, Caring people who open themselves up,
KNOWING that there is a large chance that there is
Hurt and Disappointment awaiting them, but…
They do it anyway.
That is Goodness.
That is Righteousness

That is the Very Basis of Hope.
