Good people

Sometimes i'm seriously surprised by how bad the world can be.
And sometimes I cannot get over how wonderful the world is and how sometimes life just seems to just turn around.
A couple months ago I was not in a good place and today i'm doing pretty well.
I like myself better than the person I was a year ago.

But today I got to interview one of the founders of the Shanta Foundation, which improves communities in Myanmar.
They build schools.
Improve roads.
Train midwives.
Build wells for clean drinking water.
And so many more other things and this organization only started in 2007.

I had an amazing interview with Mike, I got to know more about Shanta and all they do, and then at the end he told me that I had some good interview questions and gave me a freaking hug.
A hug at the end of an intense interview.

LIKE WHAT?!

But these are legitimately good people.
Like they needed a hobby so they went and started a organization in a foreign country and took on this crazy project.

But we often forget the good people and remember the bad.

I think we need to recognize the good more often than the bad.
The good takes more effort to do because often times is more time consuming and you dont really expect anything in return.

These people sure do not with shanta.
They just want the communities they help to be better and self sufficient.

I think we should all live our lives that way.
