People Amaze Me Every Day

People amaze me every day.                                                                      Some for the good and some for the bad.                                                    Does it seem we are getting dumber with each passing sunset?                     
Can it be we are on overload?                                                                     
Can we not see how we are hurting others all around us?                                   I see and find good from time to time.                                                        
Why is the good not there all of the time.                                                    Where are we headed to heaven or hell?                                                    One's words and actions do tell.

Caren Krutsinger January 13, 2020 at 9:48 PM The good "is there all the time". I think it is our choice whether or not to bring it out and OFTEN! Nicely done, Paula.

Lin Lane January 13, 2020 at 4:20 AM It's become a "what's in it for me" world, Paula, and people seem to grow more selfish day by day. Thanks for reminding your readers about the importance of kindness. Paula Goldsmith January 13, 2020 at 9:17 AM Yes, you are right. Thanks for reading and writing. I love to hear from the writers. Have a wonderful day...............

Paul Callus January 12, 2020 at 4:30 AM You are right, Paula; we know the difference between right and wrong, so it should not be so hard for us to decrease wrong and increase good. Like that this world could be a much better place. Regards // paul Paula Goldsmith January 12, 2020 at 11:36 AM Thank You, for reading and writing to me. I love to hear from other writers. How great it would be if everyone could be loving. Guess that is not life on earth..........
