So beautiful. Thanks again. It’s funny, I thought of Hachi just yesterday! Love and devotion from a dog is like no other. When I die, if one of my pets is still living, I’d like for someone to bring them to see me (if possible) and know I am gone. How many pets must wait and wonder? It breaks my heart… But

Thank you James for taking your precious time to make this wonderful post. You’re right. Most people are good. Many are very good. And some are simply fantastic! So are cats too. 🤗😉🤗

Thank you. Such beautiful stories that gave me a real boost this morning.

On a good day, I do manage to settle into a mindset that is - if he’s going to blow up the world, I might as well be enjoying myself.

I’ve overcome a significant health challenge in recent years, which feels like a triumph. So if that’s going to be the ending for us all-well, I’ve done what I can to live a good life-and I’ve taken the small actions I can to encourage those with power to avoid further escalation to do so.

Now it’s time to enjoy the good and seek out those good, kind people.🙏🏻😊

Beautiful read.

I knew about the Australian man…the quiet hero, in story no 3. He really did do all of that in the cliffs every day, saving many souls in momentarily desperate despair.

I was unaware of the quiet hero of no 2, whose commitment to his purpose saved over 2 million babies.

And, I was taught about Hachi the amazing dog as a child in school. I wonder if they still continue to teach these lessons to young children today? The values of a loyalty given back in return from a wonderful dog, and, of those human values of open, shared kindness embodied in the soul of the gentle Professor.

All of the stories are uplifting, reinforcing the goodness, the decency that is inherent in the human species world wide.

We needed that read at this time. Thank you.
