Thank goodness

You can contribute to the goodness in the world. You don't need a middleman. - Daniel Dennett

Great idea! Too bad I didn't think of this way of describing it myself.

This is a quote from an interview with Richard Dawkens, part of a series the won the Best Documentary of 2008 award on the BBC.
Dennett had a near death experience because his aorta burst. When he survived, he credited the whole of goodness in the world - individual, medical, and social - with his survival. He's still an atheist, of course.
