There's always some good in the world. Good things just stand back generously, letting others have a chance in the spotlight. Good things always speak quietly because actions speak louder than words. Good things are hard to spot because they hide in plain sight. Good things are always there but are constantly being drowned out by distractions of our own making. Good things want what's best for you but are not always being allowed to speak their mind or to help out in any way. Good things are constantly being shoved aside by bullies called the bad things.

Bad things are not everywhere. There are only a few bad things compared to good things. Bad things get blown up by the community. Bad things spread their vise grasp all across the internet, seeping into daily lives and tainting the homes of good things. Bad things harm others. Bad things scream their opinions. Bad things have no feelings, no sympathy, no empathy. Bad things hate the world and want everyone to agree with their view and their view only. Bad things are wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending that they are innocent good things but in reality are viruses that taint the very soul. Bad things are corrupt. 

But you, yes you, can prevent this. By focusing on the good, heartwarming feelings and truths of good things you will halt bad things in their tracks. Positivity, not negativity. Joy, not anger. Grinning, not growling. Helping, not harming. Helping these good things to grow and spread, bringing happiness to others will, in turn, bring that same glorious joy to yourself. 

This world is too focused on the attention seeking, eye drawing, heart hooking, soul crushing bad things and bad news of this world. The internet is not helping us drown out the bad things, it has created a network for bad things to instantly spread into the hearts and minds of its victims. Focusing on the good things of this wonderful world will bring the bad things to their knees.

 Good things affect everyone differently. A good thing for one is not always a good thing for another. Keep in mind that you may not notice how good these good things are until you lose them. Better to focus on them now while you still have them. Good things never turn inherently bad, the view in which we are them may become clouded with bad things but the good thing itself remains. Good things allow the beholder to feel emotions that leave them feeling.... well... good.

Good feelings may include warm, fuzzy feelings, happy feelings, joyful feelings, the feeling of being on top of the world, calm and collective feelings, inspirational feelings, serene feelings, head in the clouds, giggly, proud, strong, determined, reminiscent, fond, loving, tender, and even a bit sad sometimes. 

But what are some of these good things? 

Good things are certainly different for everybody. Because everybody is different these good things may affect and touch people differently, and that's ok. People have different tastes and personalities and that's what makes this diverse world so incredible and amazing. Here's a list of some of my good things:
