By now, you've heard all about the events that occurred during the Boston Marathon this week. The violence, the death, the pain. And if you're anything like Budget, you are holding the victims of this awful attack in your thoughts, and wishing them well.
Violence, my friends, will always be around us. Evil. But don't lose hope.
There are more good people in this world than bad. A lot more. Unfortunately, the bad gets way more attention than the good, and that can sometimes make us jaded, cynical, fearful, calloused. But this is not the way to go.
Violence will always be a part of humanity. There are some people that simply...want to hurt others. But in spite of all this blood and death, there are people that were on the scene during the attack, helping the injured, helping the emergency crews on scene. These are the good people. And this reminds me of a quote I saw recently on the internet:

And this quote holds true. There are always more people willing to help than to hurt. Create than destroy. And in these dark times, such hope can keep the soul of humanity alive. So. Without pradling on any more, please stay safe. Keep your eyes open, and don't be silent. If something doesn't look or feel right, say something. You could save someone's life that way.
Be a helper. Not a harmer.
*Strength, peace, and love to all those affected by the bombing during the Boston Marathon from everyone at Budget.*
