Right vs Might

Well Folks, as you all have been reading these past few weeks, I have been commenting, sometimes wryly, sometimes tongue in cheek, about the rather sad, sordid state of affairs in our ever wildly spinning world of ours. What with protests gone bad, horribly bad, to countries in chaos and despair, and even individual stories of shame and sorrow.

But, as most of you all know me so well, I am also one to find the proverbial glass half full; so instead of finding stories about what all IS going wrong with things currently, (And really, you do not have to look too far!) I decided to make an effort to seek out news-worthy items that are GOOD.

Well, believe it or not, of all places to be a light of hope for humanity and our very morals, was none other than Japan…yes, you read that right…Japan; where not that long ago, unimaginable horrors were happening with several earthquakes and the various aftermath of such.
So, what could possible be happening ‘over there’ to have even a glimmer of hope for us? Well, I will place in here a quote from one of the news agencies writings:

“The earthquake and tsunami that walloped Japan left much of its coastline ravaged, but left one thing intact: the Japanese reputation for honesty.
In the five months since the disaster struck, people have turned in thousands of wallets found in the debris, containing $48 million in cash.
More than 5,700 safes that washed ashore along Japan’s tsunami-ravaged coast have also been hauled to police centers by volunteers and search and rescue crews. Inside those safes officials found $30 million in cash. One safe alone, contained the equivalent of $1 million.”

Is that possible? Can that be real? Yes, it is…I have checked various sources, and only to find the same thing; this actually has happened…

Think about that…the total now stands at over 78 MILLION dollars worth of CASH returned…

What would YOU do, if you found a safe containing One Million Dollars in CASH?
Would you honestly return it? No questions asked, no hesitations, no lingering doubts?

How any of your friends that you know, would do such a thing? Untraceable, undetectable, cold hard cash of one million dollars?…Well, it seems that even in ‘Secular Japan’, doing the RIGHT thing, still does exist…

Perhaps we can all learn a valuable lesson from this?

Just…Thoughts…
