Power to change...

"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty" -Mahatma Gandhi

Following the terrible events that occurred at the Boston Marathon on Monday I began to feel disheartened with humanity. How many of these nonsensical acts of violence are going to occur, and why do they happen? My faith began to waiver in humanity...but then I found this quote by Mahatma Gandhi (he always seems to 'speak' to me at just the right moment) and my attitude was changed...my thoughts began to shift. 

Events such as Boston will continue to occur as long as humans breathe. Wars will wage and hate and ignorance will rear its ugly head. But , there will also be peace that flows and love and compassion in the world to battle the darkness of hate.

I may only be one, but I am one of many.

I am one tiny drop in the vast ocean of humanity, but sometimes one drop is all it takes to initiate a ripple of change.

So, I may only be one, but one can make a difference. 

I will make a difference...
