Like probably most of you, I have been watching all the coverage of the horrible aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. So many people have lost their homes and in some cases their lives........this is really a bad one for sure.
But I have also seen things that make a person realize we humans are not as bad as we think we are sometimes. It seems whenever something like this happens, or 9/11 too, we humans tend to put aside all of our differences about religion, race, and politics, and we become compassionate toward our fellow man and roll up our sleeves to help one another.
For example, I was just watching TV and there was a video of where people who have electricity are stringing extension cords out windows with signs saying "Please feel free to charge your cell phones here." That may seem like a small thing, but really it isn't small to the person whose only link with other people is their phone and it is going dead. The people who are providing that electricity are simply looking for a way to do something, anything, to help people they do not even know.
Even the pictures of Government Officials who have put aside political differences and who are working side by side to help people makes a powerful message about how we are all pretty much the same when you strip away all of the insignificant issues, and get down to our basic makeup.
Strange as it might sound, I hated seeing all of the devastation but have a very good feeling about the future of America because of how everyone is coming together and helping people in any way they can. God bless America.
