i like to believe in the good of people. their intentions.
yet sometimes i hear about situations and there is a little voice in the back of my mind that sends up a little red flag. that asks the questions i don't want to have to ask out loud. i don't want to ask because i don't want to be right. i don't want to ask because i don't want to be wrong and thereby offend the person with the question.
instead i choose to believe that the little bit of goodness i am putting out into the world is worth it. maybe i am being taken advantage of. maybe i do deserve something different. yet in the moment if there is a little bit of something that i can do that somehow makes someone else's day a little easier, i have to believe it is worth it.
i have to believe that spreading a little bit of good, a little bit of joy, to someone who maybe doesn't deserve it is better than refusing to help because they might be taking advantage of my generosity.
i acknowledge you, little voice, i will be careful. i will be aware. but i will not stop doing what i can to be a good person, a good friend, to put out the kind of positive karma i hope is here for the children of the future.
i will do what i can, will you?
