18. We see what we are looking for

When I was in high school I had a class that required me to read the news and write about different events happening in the world. That habit carried forward with me and now I read the news almost every day. Sometimes it's hard not to get discourage with all the stories about robbery, killings, war and everything else bad that's going on. It really is a horrible place if you think about all the bad that goes on. But then I started noticing that every Monday, the KSL news runs a story with four mini stories about people who have helped out someone else or just good that is going on in the world. There is a lot of good going on in the world. Many of the people who contribute the most don't do it to get attention, so it largly goes unnoticed. Even for my parents, I never realized how much they did for other people until I got older. Because of this, it is easy to miss the good in the world, but when we look for it, we can see it all around us. And it's even better when we are the good in the world.
I know these pictures are a lot, but I like all them, as they are example of how easy it is to help someone else.
