The Hearts of Men
I am beginning to lose faith ..... I suppose I should not be totally surprised at the indignities and injustices that happen throughout the world, but it just never seems to end. The heart of man can indeed be cruel and evil ....... so I'm feeling like Virginia in believing that there is a Santa Claus and extending a small measure of hope. I know that there are good people in the world - I just need to focus on them.Its a more melancholy time of year for me as well, so I realize that this doesn't help my mood. Sometimes too much thinking does this to me. Ugh - but its hard to change.
I was just informed that a lady I work with completely had her bank account emptied by a thief. How they got her debit information I do not know, and hopefully everything is recovered. I know that we all will chip in if she needs help - that in itself helps restore some faith in that when we care for one another, goodness can come out of even a sad situation.
