Come to the dark side, Luke- Raiffa Syamil

The question you pose this week is quite a deep, philosophical as made clear by the previous posts.

It’s a question that makes you question the world we live in and doubt the status of humanity.

There’s so much wrong and evil in the world. It seems every time you check the news the whole world is collapsing into chaos and ruin. There seems to be no out to all the terrible things in the world. But that’s just how our society is, not the world. We choose to only show the bad because the good doesn't make an entertaining story. The way news is presented to us and how we learn about things frames it so we believe that there is no way that true good could actually exist.

War, disease, shootings. All things that have infiltrated our homes only in the past few weeks. But what do these constant tragedies teach us? They teach us that we can find good in anything. Tragedy is what unites us as humans. We come together to raise money, to support, to fix the problems, to help those in need and when we can accomplish something great like this, it’s beautiful.

So while it may be true that there are people and acts in this world that are based solely in wrong and evil morals, the way we choose to accept these things is how we can become an unstoppable force of good.
