Edmund Burke wasn’t kidding when he said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. In a similar manner, spending all of our time fretting about the bad things in this world while neglecting the celebration of good things in this world is a surefire path to despair. We celebrate and remem- ber what is good and what is pure, and in praising these things, we find the strength to do battle with and do away with the bad things in this world. Ernest Hemingway got it right: The world is a fine place and most impor- tantly, it is worth fighting for.
