Sometimes Good is 'Good Enough'.

In a world full of craziness. It's sometimes hard to see the good that happens around us everyday. We are inundated with images and stories of our failures as human beings. We are judged and compared to those perceived better than we are. We are constantly reminded that what we have to offer each other, the earth, and the universe is potentially toxic to ourselves and those we love.

The feel goods we all strive for on a mutual level in our day to day lives is seemingly overlooked. It is rare to turn on the television and see a happy ending. It is rare to read an article about every day people doing every day good. Even Facebook statuses are usually full of fuel and fire, in regard to someone else or self hatred. Unless you are a hero or a villain, you are hardly noticed.

Its no wonder that people go above and beyond to be noticed. In advocacy, in hatred, in sex, in everything. We have created an existence that caters to the extremes.

It concerns me when simple good deeds are no longer appreciated or noticed. That there seems to be little pay it forward any more. People seem to carry a sense of entitlement with them. Kindness and caring are taken for granted. Help is expected not warranted.

With access to an unlimited audience, vying for attention is easier than ever. For celebrities, corporations, hate groups, and the public in general. Its no wonder making decisions on who to support, who to help, even where to look are so difficult.

The world is losing its ability to see the everyday ways we can help and appreciate. We need to remember that we don't have to conquer the world. That charity starts at home. That the small things do make a difference. That you don't need to be a superhero to effect someone. That simple courtesy goes a long way. We need to remember to teach our children that their value isn't based on how many Facebook friends they have or You Tube views their video has received. That asking for help doesn't make them weak. And that helping someone else can make them stronger.

In a world where the biggest, noisiest, squeakiest wheel gets the grease, its hard to remember that sometimes being good is good enough.
