Sometimes it can feel like the news is just a never-ending stream of difficult-to-read tragedies. That is why it's important to take a moment to acknowledge all of the ordinary people with kindness in their hearts out there who are doing good in the world. As the never-wrong Mister Rodgers once said, "“My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”
