Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
Knives, bludgeons,
Ropes, swords, axes…none of those kill people, not without
A person/human wielding the weapon.
It is a dismal prospect.

However,
People SAVE people, people HELP people.
People with compassion, people who care, people
Who have a conscience.
People who have a HEART!

People who will go out of their
Way,
Who will step across the street to help someone…all
THESE Things show that there IS TRULY HOPE for our race.

Giving, Sharing,
Caring people who open themselves up,
Knowing that there is a large chance that there is
Hurt and disappointment waiting for them, but…
They do it anyway.
That is goodness.
That is righteousness.

That is the very basis of Hope.
