8. Who do you love and what are you doing about it?

So, how many of you read the title and thought, "Oh, she is going to ramble on about Noah....blah blah blah."


See, I'm not as predictable as you thought!  =)


No, today, I'll answer this question a little more philosophically.  Sure, I love Noah, but everyone who meets me knows that.  


So, who do I love?  I love people who care about other people.  What I mean is, we all care for someone, but it takes special effort to care about humanity on a whole, broader aspect.  When we go out into the world, we are barraged with all different types of people.  How we react to them defines what type of person we truly are.  Of course we're nice to our friends and family (well, most of our family), but have you met anyone who is a friend to everyone?  I have.  This person will remain anonymous, but let me tell you a little about him.


This guy goes through life with the deep conviction that there is good in every single person.  No, he's not a pushover, because I've seen him stand up for himself.  But he will extend his hand to the lowliest stranger.  Not to just help him, but to help him onto his feet.  People do try to take advantage of him, and it does happen, but only once.


I think that if everyone could extend their kindness to everyone, then maybe we could have a little peace.


I saw a quote today that made me decide to answer this question in the way that I did.


Never look down on anybody, unless you're helping them up. ~ Rev. Jesse Jackson
