The Split

Life is said to be full of goodness, but at times it seems as if none is to be found. While others notice this phenomenon in natural catastrophes such as Haiti or Katrina, I see it in the small misfortunes that befall the common man. A single mother's unsuccessful attempt to receive aid from a government set in place to help people in her predicament or a failed attempt to start a business by a man on his last string. Where is the goodness in that? People try to make the argument that where there is good there is evil leading us to believe that there is a 50/50 split. When at best there is a 30/70 split with evil winning. Now I'm not inferring that more evil exists in the world than good. All I am suggesting is that in some areas the split is reverse. Personally, I just want to go where there is as much good as evil. Where I can wake up and know that I have an even shot at evil as well as good as opposed to waking up and trying to avoid the evil outside my doorstep. But who knows if this is possible? Maybe what bracket you fall in is determined before you were even aware of what good and evil is. Or maybe you have to go through one to reach the other. When you think about it those who had it good there whole life eventually meets an evil which they can not overcome while it seems that good only befalls those who aren't. Hopefully this evil outside my door step is prepping me for the goodness in my future. Till the next page.
