>The world is a much kinder, nicer place than it often seems.

I realize that a lot these days. People are not inherently so bad but greed is a nasty drug that has the potential to ruin the best.

When you have nothing to offer but kindness and compassion, it is very simple to see the humanity side of things in this world and it can feel really amazing.

Most people have significantly less than what we are spoon fed by media and the internet at large.

Just as in history we learn of emperors and kings instead of the common person, most digital content is about the modern day lords, barons, emperors, and kings. They call them billionaires, presidents, CEOs, prime ministers, etc now, but they are the exact same as they always have been.

If you turn the screen off and take a walk, start talking with real people that actually provide value to society, the world is much kinder than we've all been made to believe.

The real people are a good people, as they long have been. Their stories may not be written, but the Earth itself carries their memories.
