The unique goodness of people

I'm feeling very contemplative this a.m. and it could be due to the fact that I can still recognize goodness when it is present. I traveled this weekend to Logan with the Juan Diego men's soccer team to play two games, and was very impressed with how these young men carried themselves. Their behavior reminded me that there is an inherent goodness in most individuals and that when faced with challenges, or situations that call for them to respond in a forthright manner, most people will respond admirably. This is certainly true in almost all of life's scenarios. A sincere desire of mine is that this goodness will always be present, that we as individuals, and a society will always respond with compassion, caring and love for our fellow human beings (even the liberal Democrats, who probably need it more than most!).
