Safe and Sound

Watching the news often bring people down. The world is so full of disasters and suffering. My best friend is among those who think the increase in crimes in the world today is a sign that the end of the world is near. I feel sorry for her, but nothing I say can change her mind. It doesn't matter how many times I point out what a wonderful world we live in.

While it is a fact that millions of humans suffer in this world because of one thing or the other, it's also a fact that billions are safe and sound.
