Hi everyone,
I thought this video clip would be particularly uplifting amidst all of the sad posts on the blog. It is a Liberty Mutual commercial that gives me chills every time I see it, so I thought I would share. It really demonstrates to me the domino effect of doing a good deed.
The struggle for human rights continues worldwide on a daily basis. Whether it's a struggle to prevent starvation in Africa, assert one's civil rights in the United States, or avoid torture in Latin America or Asia because of one's political opinion, these are all issues for Hate, Hope and Human Rights

Well so much for good feelings. Whether it came from a corporation or not, I still think that it is a great message. One of the reasons that it took me so long to track it down was because I couldn't remember the company that was advertising with it, so that shows how very little I cared about the consumerism behind it. And while I do not know anyone who works for Liberty Mutual, I would hate to think that all of its staff are a bunch of greedy slugs. I guess my point is that we can find trivial, ugly things in anything good, but for once can we just let them go?
hewhowould, how is it that every good action will have evil qualities - just because good must exist, does not mean there has to be evil in everything... and about the free hugs - how do you know a life was not changed? You know I was always told to smile at people, such a simple gesture, but you hear stories about people who were on the edge of suicide, alone, depressed, and felt like they had no one, but one person doing one simple gesture made them choose to live - so one hug could have changed someone's life, made someone's day - simple good gestures and deeds can do a long way, you just may never know how far.
