there always will be

As I'm sure you've heard, early this morning in Colorado a movie theater was shot up by one gunman. The gunman killed twelve people and left dozens more wounded. It is said he bought a ticket, went into the theater with the crowd, propped an exit door open, exited the theater, and returned some time later in a bulletproof vest and gas mask where he immediately opened fire. The man used an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a Glock handgun. He also threw cannisters of tear gas into the crowd. The youngest wounded was three months old...

Batman is a movie focused on the good conquering the evil. It's a sad case of irony when evil attempts to get back like it did this morning.

There will be legislators who blame the second amendment and some others who will blame video games. A man who was in the theater gave a speech on CNN where he announced the real problem... Evil.

The video is moving and the man wants to convey the reality of this situation...there is evil in this world. There is pure, hate-filled evil.

While there is evil I believe that there will always be more good.

The media nowadays focuses solely on the evil of the world. You turn on the news in any major city and the first thing you see is murder this, or scandal that, terrorist here, or war there.

The media loves to dwell on the evils of this world.

I can't explain to you why that is. Is it to scare us into believing in the governemnt? The idea that if we buy into different programs we will be safe? I don't think it's anything as serious as that but it makes one wonder... Why focus on this evil?

The world is filled with people who do the right thing. Filled with everyday Bruce Waynes who stand for everything that is good and right.

Trust me when I tell you that there are more good people in this world than there are evil.

As cliche as it is we have to believe that the good will always conquer evil. We have to believe that because the day that we stop believing it is the day we've given up. It's the day that we've given up on humanity and on ourselves as a human race. We can't give up. We can't forget the heroes. Whether big or small we can't forget the good deeds done every day by citizens of every walk of life.

Evil may not know any bounds, but good doesn't either. And where there is evil I guarantee there is good.

From every evil deed carried out a hero or heroin will surface.

We can't spend time asking why this happened or how we could have prevented it. Sure, stricter gun laws and all that...but what it reallys boils down to is that there is evil in this world and there always will be.

Don't forget the good though...life is too beautiful and good to only give attention to the evil.

If we focus on the good, more good will arise. Evil will surface time and time again, but when evil is quelled and people see more and more of the good the world will be a better place.

Don't be afraid of the evils of this world, be cognizant of them.  

Don't question the good in the world, expect and demand it.

Believe in the good. Believe in us.
