A Few Good People

The other evening I listened to a friend of mine speak on the topic, “A Few Good Men.” He dealt with the need for (physically, mentally and spiritually) strong men, to lead in the homes, community and church. The importance of them pulling themselves up by the bootstraps, so that women don’t have to carry the entire burden. While I found his talk to the relevant to today’s time, where having a man in the home seems to be a rare commodity, I thought about taking it a step further. What about a Few Good People?

Individuals who stand for something, so as not to fall for anything. Men and women who understand the demise of minorities and have taken up the challenge to help restore order to broken societies. Teachers, social workers and those working in corporate America, who understand the importance of being a positive role model and take time to help another. A few good people, who are willing to move outside of their comfort zone and help victims of a disaster, whether they suffered through Hurricane Sandy or Typhoon Haiyan. These individuals open businesses in their communities and hire local help; they participate in street fairs and donate to local causes. A few good people, who volunteer at soup kitchens and donate suits for others to be able to go on interviews.


The world needs a few good people. Are you one?
