Two Sides To Every Coin

[The Matt]

You can look at any little thing in the world, and see the good, and see the bad. Is there anything left that's purely good, or purely bad. I look at my Godchild, and I imagine an amazing life. He's a natural born athlete. It takes everything my uncle has to hold him when he wants to get away. I have hopes and dreams of him growing up to be a great football player. A smart one though. I hope to pass on the things I know that are good in me. I've never felt love in my life such as I feel for him. Yet at the same time....I know he has to grow up in this horrible world. This increasingly dangerous world, where one bad thing that could happen could ruin a person for the rest of their lives. I'm terrified to let my little Godchild out into the world. I'm terrified to teach him the right things. I want to teach him about the human spirit, how good people can be, to see the best in people. But at the same time, I have to warn him how bad people can be, how they can pretend to be your friend, but actually have their own, sometimes malicious hidden intentions in their heart. Two sides to every coin. There's good and bad in anything. You think of the most horrible thing you could imagine happening. To me, the innocence of a child could be taken away. What could be worse? But at the same time, that child may grow up to be a strong person, may take what happened, and decide to help others that were in the same situation. He or she may be able to touch millions. Begin a charity. Give people hope in hopeless situations. Good things can come out of the worst of things. And at the same time, bad things can come out of the best of things. Two sides to every coin. So....what bad have you done with your good intentions? Two endings to every story. You see a woman who gave her life to a charity for underprivileged inner city kids...I wonder what happened to her that gave her such a burden.
