The Cause and Effect of Living in Fear

I wish it was possible for me to write the music in my heart and soul in word form to truly describe my feelings right now. I am really conflicted in my views on the state of humanity right now. So I am just going to work it out as I go. There is so much hatred in this world right now. From countries at war over mere greed to individuals spreading rumors and saying malicious things just to try to build themselves up. It feels like gas being pumped into a canister and at some point its just going to explode engulfing us all in a filthy cloud of animosity.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not all doom and gloom. I usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt and have hope for humanity. At the times when I feel the worst about the affairs of society something usually happens that renews my faith in humankind. The most recent example is when I went up skiing the other day and accidentally left the lights of my old diesel truck on. After about five hours of skiing both of the batteries were completely drained. So I wandered around the parking lot and finally found someone to give me a jump. The guy was pretty impatient so after a few failed attempts I let him go on his way. I figured with all the people driving by someone else would stop in no time and help us out. Boy was I wrong, I watched person after person drive by for more then half an hour. Finally this nice guy in a beat up truck pulled up and asked I needed any help. I was relieved that someone finally stopped and that I didn't need to have someone in my family just drive up and get me. This man was probably one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. He stayed for over an hour after countless starting failures(its really hard to jump diesel trucks especially really old ones) until finally the truck started. He didn't get impatient and was a pleasure to be around which helped me out a lot because I was pretty worried that I wouldn't get it started. For the rest of the day my heart was just filled with joy because of this kind individual.
I truly believe he was an 'angel' and a blessing. Its times like these when I see people like this man that I have hope for the future, even though people like him seem to be the minority these days. It also inspires me to do the best I can to bless the life of someone else. I really don't want to miss out on an opportunity to really help someone out even though it may not be a big deal to me. As long as there is at least one good person out there I have hope for change however difficult it might be.
