21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
I thought this was such a good thing when i found it, and maybe the world still goes around, because someone is doing something on the lines of these people here. We can't always only focus on the negative, and sometimes we need to see and know about people like these. as the link says
"People aren't always awful. Sometimes, they're maybe even just a little bit wonderful. Here are 21 pictures to remind you of that fact. "
I'll post them in 3 messages here, here's the first:
1. This picture of Chicago Christians who showed up at a gay pride parade to apologize for homophobia in the Church.
... and the reaction from the parade.
2. This story about Japanese senior citizens who volunteered to tackle the nuclear crisis at Fukushima power station so that young people wouldn't have to subject themselves to radiation.
3. This picture of two Norwegian guys rescuing a sheep from the ocean.
4. This sign at an awesome bookshop.
5. This poll about what Snooki should name her child.
6. The moment in which this Ohio athlete stopped to help an injured competitor across the finish line during a track meet.
17-year-old Meghan Vogel was in last place in the 3,200-meter run when she caught up to competitor Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of running past her to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath's arm around her shoulders, carried her 30 meters, and then pushed her over the finish line before crossing it.
7. This exchange between a 3-year-old girl and a shopping center.

Re: 21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
15. This interaction between a Guatemalan girl and a tourist she just met.
16. This gesture from a neighbor.
17. These photos of two children collaborating to rescue a dog who had fallen into a ravine.
18. This note on a young family's check.
19. This exchange between a protester and a soldier during a protest in Brazil.
20. These pictures of a man jumping into rough waters to rescue a stranger's Shih Tzu in Melbourne.
Sue Drummond was walking her beloved Shih Tzu, Bibi, on a pier in Melbourne, when a fierce gust of wind picked him up and hurled him into the rough waters of the bay. A passerby, Raden Soemawinata, who happened to be on the pier that day to scatter his grandmother's ashes, wasted no time in stripping down and diving into the bay to rescue the animal.
(Photos: Chris Scott)
21. And this photograph of two best friends on a swing.
¤=[Post Update]=¤
And not part of those 21 images ,but story i got from that link to
http://www.itv.com/news/granada/stor...ind-strangers/
and a summary of this from one of the people's FB comments:
"a guy in Blackpool who withdrew £1,000 in cash from a bank to pay his car insurance. A gust of wind blew it all out of his hands and down the road. He went and sat in his son's car shocked at what had happened and without a clue what to do when there was a tap on the window. Loads of people were lining up to give him his cash back having chased it down the street and picked it up. He counted up what he got back and it came to £980"
Yes a lot of bad happens, but a lot of good we don't know about either, and it's source is within us on a normal day, and nowhere else.
