Everywhere their are people, communities doing acts of good, fighting for what is right, what is good. Although they cannot always be seen, they are there.
It is these things that need to be heard in such a time, all we hear is much about evil acts.
Unite
The idea of competition is prevalent among even the good intended people,orgs, groups etc...
competition for resources, popularity, attention, but what is most needed, what could make a difference is cooperation. people who will say, I will support you, aid you, because you fight for what is good, we will help each other. We will unite and put our petty differences aside to effect more effectively.
Dialogue is the key.
The only way to overcome evil is by doing good.
