A new testament to humanity

If you listen to every Christian in the world they will tell you that the world is headed…well… straight to hell. Our social standards have dropped drastically and it has become socially acceptable to do things that only the “witches” of the old days would have done. Now it’s true that our society’s ‘moral fiber’ is not as tightly knitted as it used to be but I have run into something that has reconstituted my belief in the human race. That something is the San Antonio Riverwalk. As huge masses of people walk up and down this river, no one ever gets pushed in. There is really nothing between a woman taking a picture for her scrapbook and the nasty water below other than my self control and morality. I struggled with this all weekend as I was in San Antone for my cousin’s wedding, which proved to be extremely fun. Complete with a circling of the family to dance and sing “We are Family,” it may have been one of the most fun dances I have ever attended. Anyway…back to the river walk. My struggles peaked at one specific point. We were leaving Mad Dog’s to try and find another place to watch the Red River Shootout and walking along the river. I look to my right and there are two (not just one, two) decent looking girls standing by the river posing for a picture. Now to make temptation worse, one of them was wearing a burnt orange shirt with the T.U. longhorn in white across the chest. I even noticed that there was a stair case just to the left that would allow me to make a quick getaway. I smiled and simply walked by. I am confident that if such a situation would have presented itself anywhere else I would have succumbed to it. But there is something about that place. It’s like it got stuck in the world of 30 years ago. Everyone there still has a little class. Something about this place keeps out the bustling city around and provides a place where a college kid can truly resist pushing a rival into dirty water.
