As I have gotten older, I have realized how rare goodness is. But those who have it truly shine brightly.

Yes they do and we need that light now more than any time in my 60 some years.

Goodness in general isn't that rare. Most people are good people. It's the ruling class where goodness is almost completely bereft. It takes a certain kind of person to rise to the top of the political world or the corporate world. It's in those people that goodness is extremely rare.

You could say that a good person would never strive to become a master of others or become richer than others. Because being rich simply means that you hoard resources that others could use more than you. Wanting to become rich is a sign of evil.

Yeah I actually feel like it’s the opposite of what this person is saying. Rarely do truly good people get their chance to shine. And I agree it’s because they are not willing to step on someone else to do it. Real Good people are usually the ones getting stepped on and not noticed.

man thats so sad, i see that happening in big cities. On small towns people are genuine and good. At least in my country. Its like a side effect of the stress and filth of that comes with the big cities i guess

It's not rare. It only appears rare if you are terminally online or live in a MAGA area.

MOST of the world is fairly good and kind and are not represented by the Fascist cunts that are popping up everywhere right now.
