Noble Love

I am familiar with two young women who are about to graduate from college and embark the most noble profession that I can think of. They are about to join the Peace Corps and give two years of their lives to help people in third world countries that they do not know. Can anything be more noble, in a time when most people go through their lives with their heads shoved completely up their own self-important asses. One of these women seems to be filled with self doubt about her future, this is normal in almost all graduating seniors from college. What is exascerbating her situation is a group of self centered individuals who are filling her with this self doubt because of their own self interests. They are telling her that she does not love enough or even worse is incapable of loving people. This is utter nonsense. Can a person exhibit more love for her fellow man than by joining the Peace Corps to help people in foreign lands. She will most likely live in a small hut or home miles from nearest other Peace Corps member with a family that she has never met. This is a display of caring and courage that humbles me. Doesn't love? This women's aura practically glows. She could light up a dark room with her warmth and personality. Being in either her presence, or her Peace Corp bound friend's presence makes you feel better and happier. Both of these women are representative of the very best qualities of the sixties ideal and human nature in general.
Both of these women are passionate about their beliefs and values and have no problem defending their positions to anyone. It is rare today to find individuals with these qualities and I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to call these two women friends. Anyone who questions either of these women's motives is self absorbed and just plain foolish. All I can do is give them my undying admiration and support. Bless these two young women in their future and wherever it takes them.
