Kind spirits: There to be found.

I know mean-spirited people. Plenty of ‘em. Mean-spirited acquaintances. And strangers, too. I encounter them. If not daily, often enough. The world is full of mean spirits. Fortunately, there are kind spirits, too. Maybe more than the mean ones. Mean spirits like to cause harm. Sometimes, just for the hell of it. I wonder why so mean? And the answer is simple. They have mean spirits. Doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to live with their mean spirits forever. I’ve seen some mean spirits change. Maybe miraculously. Maybe because deep down, they had a kind spirit hidden way. There to be found. –Jim Broede
