good vs. evil

all these fantasy movies/books are about good and evil in their own ways. harry potter, lord of the rings, twilight, narnia. the worst/best thing is when this battle becomes a reality.
i have been struggling with the evil i've been witnessing here. i saw a guy pushing another guy and screaming at him while i was sitting on a tram, open drunkenness everywhere, a teacher's son was attacked because he has dark skin, government corruption, and yesterday the house that i'm living in was entered by a stranger who climbed over the fence, entered the front door, and had the audacity to climb the stairs and steal a guitar, a purse, and who else knows what...while the family was at home. this is a scary world.
the ONLY thing that brings me hope in these situations is the good - the love - that [attempts] to overcome the bad. we wouldn't have known the house was broken into if a lady who found my host mom's transportation pass hadn't called and made the effort to let her know, even attempting to speak english in the process. i just want there to be more good than there is. i woke up this morning thinking about why we have to lock our doors. it's such a shame we can't trust each other.
in the end of all the stories i wrote about earlier, good triumphs over evil. in the end...after a fair amount of hardship and learning. i will no longer sleep with the window open because i can't trust people - people who are like me in the broadest sense.
