There are people who have lived on this planet that are much the opposite of what I am. Jesus first comes to mind and then others such as St. Francis. For my moment in this world, Mother Teresa was most indeed one of the better forms of humanity.
If you have never heard about her it makes for a good study into what the potential is for a person. If you have heard of her and have disparaging comments about her it just means you’re upholding the real ignorance of your species – good job. Now if you have heard of her and know what she really was, isn’t it nice that a woman like her enriched this planet?
Compassion for others comes hard and easy. It is easy to feel compassion and hard to carry that feeling forward with actions. So many say, “I’d like to help,” only to have their minds drift quickly to another endeavor.
Mother Teresa was human, of this there is no doubt. She was not a monster yet being human she was ignorant and full of fault yet she still strove to emulate the perfect human that was not ignorant, not a monster, rather the perfection of what humanity can be: Jesus.
This monsters heart loves Mother Teresa and is glad to have felt her presence. This monster also knows there are many others like her on this world, silently trying to be better for the betterment of humanity with actions, thoughts, and prayers going against the grain of ignorance. To help those in need without thought of recognition, reward, or anything other than to give compassion and aid to their fellow man/woman. To people like them and to those like Jesus, St. Francis and Mother Teresa, it shows the evolution is going well and that there is hope for humanity, but this monster knows with absolute certainty – the success of hope for the entire world is far, far, into the worlds future, but there is time, lots and lots of time.

Hope
To have found, known, and lost the feeling
To realize what is only to know what is,
is real.
So easy to say empty words full of real meaning
Well intentions
Proud thoughts
Ambitions left with a yawning pit…
So easy to find fault and see reason
A world filled with that which seems to never change –
Anger, rage, evil…
Can hope really exist?
The answer shown and given by many in the past, present and future
The true answer is,
yes.
