My friend called me and asked me to fill in the blank, and I had the word on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't tell her what it was. I hate it when that happens. In any case, the sentence was something to the extent of this:
Japanese students of some sort of religion (can't remember which) would learn from their mistakes and be a _______ to society.
I want to say something like asset or benefit, but the word I've got on the tip of my tongue isn't one of those. Please help?

I know it's not menace or anything negative. Something positive--credit maybe? If I said "Mother Theresa was a _____ to society," what would you put in that blank? That's the word I'm looking for.

I'd have the atmosphere be in a town with (as a substitute than electic power) power from the ash. Follow me in this one: after the arena used to be destroyed in a (potentially nuclear however your option) crisis brought about by means of an evil guy, all over used to be desolate and the very ozone of the planet thickened or the planet moved somewhat, however it's totally bloodless and ash falls from the sky. Although, within the warmest spot on the planet (the equator) there's a town (which we adressed previous). It not ever is going above freezing however it's larger off than all over else. On the external of the big town, wherein the ash is.... so are the Ravangers. They was human, however have been morphed into darkish, ugly creatures who are not able to stand the solar that generally peeks by way of the ash. They pop out at night time and take kids from the small villages external the towns power subject barrier and consume them, or sacrifice them. Inside town regardless that (which I assume as being approximately one hundred,000 individuals populace) the individuals are usual, despite the fact that very light from the loss of solar. Inside town regardless that, there are even vegetation and matters, and town is developing always... however there are strict regulations approximately ANY combating or violence rather than the police to avoid the apocolypse once more. The tale will also be approximately a young person (or younger grownup) who unearths the evil guy in charge for the apocolypes and attempts to kill him... however he seems to be an influential guy within the new town, so the teenager is exiled into the barren lands wherein he is going up towards Ravangers and travels West, always watching for the rumored different town by means of the rumored ocean... at the method regardless that, he unearths his Father who has been in part became Ravanger and says that there's evil coming from the west, ect... you'll be able to determine the relaxation. =)

The word you are looking for is in fact "boon." From the New American Heritage College Dictionary: "something beneficial or pleasant that is bestowed: a blessing."

Boon?
That's the only word other than BENEFIT than comes to my mind.!
Oh, what about GIFT or BLESSING?
