I was looking for a quote which would suit this picture but I couldn't find one. However, I did find this

Pearl S. Buck:

I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

which I felt applied perfectly to the situation I was talking about a while back...

Very nice picture.
I don't believe in the kindness of human beings. I believe that we can live in the way we want, but being aware of the costs we need to "pay" for living in that way.

But for the kind ones, I think they'll have good thing in their path =P

I guess you're right, "what comes around goes around" yes?

Yup XD
And that's more important than believing or not believing in God or something else.
If we have something that makes us live according to the "good way of living", we're going to make the world better for everyone (believers or non-believers).

"What comes around goes around"... sort of. If somebody does something bad, or something bad happens to them, sometimes it does some damage. Which means they may sometimes, intentionally or unintentionally, pass the hurt onto someone else. Maybe to the person who hurt them, the next person they meet, or someone else. There's no 'law' here, no religion, just lots of maybes.

If you can get through to 25 or so and still have "faith in the kindness of human beings" then ... well, I hope you can, but life, people, chance, just isn't like that.

But there again, looking at your photos, maybe it is. I hope so anyway.

Regards,
