A good news story if there ever was one
Is found in this story about a five year old boy who wanted to be Batman. Read and enjoy. If people were like this more of the time, imagine what the world would be.
Actually that and stuff like this: http://douglasernstblog.com/2013/11/17/atheist-believes-in-god-after-witnessing-one-mans-angelic-act-of-kindness/
Makes me think that maybe people are like that a lot, we're just not told. It could be either depressing or uplifting to imagine that the world we have IS because people are like that most of the time.
I don't know but when I look back in the past and see how bad we all were back then... maybe it's not that bad. Maybe Jesus did a lot more than save our souls but also give us a way to "clean up around here". A similar idea is actually floated in the chapter on the Catholic church in Jonah Goldberg's "Tyranny of Cliches".
As someone who's besetting sin is despair, it's something I try holding onto.
Love that story.
