I havent written Much Lately

Its been a busy fall. Lots of deep thought, contemplation and personal confrontation. I witnessed and been in the presence of evil triumphing again and again. I have struggled over why one does good when evil even if it does not prevail is rarely punished. I have studied what I call the "crazy cases" of innocence framed and derailed.
I have witnessed lying, cheating and stealing being rewarded
And what I made of all of that is this
I do good because it is my nature. It is clearly not everyone's nature.
I do good because it feels good and inspiring to help and make something better when I leave than it was when I arrived.
For many the victorious end justifies a wake of destruction in the path behind it.
I do good because I believe in good. Amd even though I get burnt more times that not, I dont ever want to come to believ that the majority way of doing things or the legal way has anything at all to do with the good or thr right way
And I know That no one can answer the question of what that means for ME in any given circumstance or oent'Im probably way obtuse now
but I'm speaking from my heart
Do good for the sake of good.
Plant the seed lets hope it grows
But never forget that many weeds impersonate flowers
