It's how you look at it. We have good and bad, but if we focus on the bad we will never see the good. Like light and dark or yin and yang, the world needs balance, and the few good people out there can make the world a better place despite the amount of bad that overwhelms them in numbers.
Most importantly, people should never judge people on first appearance alone, and maintain optimism and hope that good resides in everyone and to try to be open-minded. It's not easy and some just want to be bad, those you just accept and move on.
I'll give an interesting example. One night I was late for my train and running to catch it. I tripped and landed hard on my knees. The guys in business suits snickered and snubbed me, but a group of teens with mohawks and tattoos rushed over and helped me to my feet. First glance you'd think they were going to gang rape me or rob me based on their looks, but then they asked "Are you ok, miss?" I thanked them and continued to the train.
Moments like that make me say yes, this world is good and like weeds in a beautiful garden, the bad need to pulled out one at a time, and sometimes the nicely dressed, rich people can be far worse than the punk-styled teen who looks shady.
