I look around this earth of ours and wonder why we have let evil get a foothold in it. There is so much good around, surely there has to be enough to compensate for the evil lurking?

When I think of the state of the world, Hugh Grant's monologue at the beginning of the movie comes to mind:

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around. - Love Actually

At least that is the way I want to see it. Thank for a superb write - once again.

Upped and Steemed
