To begin‚ a great novelist‚ poet‚ and author once said “At times we feel outnumbered in our attempts to improve the world—to brighten and beautify‚ to preserve and heal and do what’s best for humanity. Selfless efforts can start to feel beleaguering‚ discouraging‚ even pointless with so little support. It is at these times I remind myself that I would rather be the last Good Samaritan standing than to join the ranks of selfish multitudes creating misery.” which gives us an image of being a good

House of Nightmares He stumbled through the snow‚ hugging himself in a desperate attempt to stay warm. The blizzard raged around him‚ battering him so much he could barely see‚ snow clinging to his frozen face. If he didn’t find shelter immediately‚ he would die. He stopped.
