“Some Heroes are Armed with Kindness””

This painting means a lot to me. I love it because it is not only fun and quirky, but it also works as a metaphor for how persistent Love and Kindness actually do win over Malice in the long run.

The brave little girl patiently and persistently ties balloons to rescue 20 sheep, doing so while the wolves are menacing nearby.

I genuinely do believe that Love and Kindness do prevail in the long run, even though they may suffer temporary setbacks in the short run. This has been my life experience, despite a few pretty awful events over the decades.

I think we could all do a lot worse than to strive to be somebody else’s hero. It doesn’t always take special super powers. Just regular human ones, like basic human caring and decency.
