WTF Wednesday

        Today I want to talk about faith in humanity.  Every morning when I wake up, I say hey to Clay; go to the bathroom and go to my computer.  I check facebook (who doesn't?) and I look at my second favorite website in the world, 9gag.  It's bad. I get distracted. Even just now, I looked to see what had been updated from an hour ago.  See?  I have a problem.
       Anyway one of the posts I saw today was this:


         Now I'm not gonna lie, I often struggle with humanity.  In a very general, cynical sense, I think people are pretty terrible.  Rotten.  Assholes even.  Side effects of working retail I guess.  In a logical sense, I recognize that there is good and bad in all people, we all make mistakes and that no matter what, all people have about a fifty percent approval rating (except me and Johnny Depp. People love us).  For further proof, look at the Presidential election in about a week.  Both will have about half.  But we aren't here to talk about that. We're here to talk about our faith in humanity.  
         So this poster kinda shocked me.  Which I find a little sad.  Why should we be surprised by random acts of kindness.  I'm not saying we need to do big scale things all the time, but we should be more giving.  Imagine the feeling you get when someone does something nice for you.  Now imagine us giving that as a gift to someone who might need it.  I know I've had incidents that brought a tear to my eye when someone helped me out.  Shouldn't we be trying to achieve this all the time?  
               If you have the time, please check out this blog post I found:
                               21 Photos that Restore your Faith in Humanity

          So I leave you with this friends.  What will you do to help a fellow human out? Think about this, we are all here together trying to figure out this crazy journey we call life.  We all encounter speed bumps, doubts, hate, praise, love, loss and hardships.  Extend that helping hand.  You never really know who might need it.
