Hope For A Dying World.....by Evan Wolf

Today on the way to the gym at a red light, I happened to look up and catch something a man should never do. For reasons unknown I saw a man reach across the car and punch a woman in the face, hard, as if she were a man. My emotions flew through me, tears welled in my eyes and my blood boiled in anger. If only he wasn’t across the road, almost facing my car off as if he were the evil and I was the good. If only I could’ve protected her, this stranger of a woman.

I don’t think anyone at USPlabs would like to hear how unfocused I was even after taking their pre-workout supplement haha but really, I couldn’t lift to save my life that day. It was still burned into my mind, almost a tattoo of something I never want to be. I decided to run it off, four miles later it was still there.

I went home and stopped at a gas station to buy a water, and an employee there was taking out the trash when the bag tore open and garbage went everywhere. This poor lady started picking up others filth while everyone else simply stepped over her as she did this. I couldn’t help but assist her, and I could tell by her smile that I had helped her day a little bit.

Is this what it’s come to? Have we all become so conceited and self preserved that we can’t do the smallest favors for others? What is there to fear? That we’ll waste a minute of our precious TV time at home? Is Evil taking hold of our hearts?

I sit now and write, hoping that after reading this that we all may exhibit the good we all possess in our hearts and minds. Don’t do it for Christ, don’t even do it for yourself, do it for the person next to you. Because in the end, the person next to you can be your life saver, your only hope, and your friend. And really, is it going to kill you? Is it? The answer, absolutely not. Let your heart beat outside of your skin, and your soul comfort the downtrodden.
