People Are Comforting Each Other With Uplifting Facts, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones During the Second World War, a Muslim man owned a mosque in Paris. After France got captured by the Germans, the french Jews were being killed. The Muslim man offered every Jew he could find shelter in his mosque and handed out fake Muslim certificates so they wouldn’t be questioned. He saved over 400 lives. No ones your enemy, except for the ones you make yourself believe are.

The last sentence is not always true. The Nazis were the enemies of humanity, not because someone made themselves believe they were.

    I wish they would do that in America. I would love to know I helped someone. Even though I donated blood or plasma, just that feeling of knowing from a small text message would be nice.

    People Are Comforting Each Other With Uplifting Facts, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones My boyfriend has a panic and anxiety disorder. Whenever he gets a panic attack, one of our cats will sit on him and purr loudly. It always comforts him and calms him down. We always joke that she is our little support animal.

    She is very attuned to our emotions and feelings. When my grandmother passed away and I was very sad, she would not leave me alone. She would just sit next to me in silence or occasionally let out a small mrew to inform me she was still there.

    So, as conclusion, even if you are having a s**t day, your pet still loves you.

    People Are Comforting Each Other With Uplifting Facts, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones Given all the atoms in the universe are recycled in various ways (having formed in the first stars), our entire body has already experienced billions of years of each atoms own personal history. Even more comforting, it's plausible those atoms will eventually become part of someone else in the future and will continue to exist in various forms - transforming continuously - until the end of time itself. So in a way, we're connected to something absolutely eternal and our ultimate fate is to be spread across the stars. Hell, depending how deep you want to get, there's also a tiny, tiny chance that your pattern of DNA will form entirely by chance again, creating someone that is biologically you but with a whole new memory, experiences and history. Basically, everyone and everything is connected. The best part? None of this is based on religion or wishful thinking, it's actual established and current scientific fact.

    When they called it a day they returned home - with 81 men. Because an Italian bloke bumped into them and wanted to come live in Liechtenstein.

    They literally made a friend on the way.

    They did not protect their border against Austria. Liechtenstein participated on the side of Austria in the war of 1866 against Italy and Prussia. The soldiers from Liechtenstein marched towards Italy but returned without fighting because the battle expected in the area of Bormio didn't happen. There they made an Italian friend.

    People Are Comforting Each Other With Uplifting Facts, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones Since animals have evolved next to human for thousands of years, they have learned to show their feeling towards us; Dogs will wag their tag, lick you, step on your feet, press their body against your legs, lay on you, etc, all in effort to show affection and be as close as physically possible to you. Cats make eye contact and slowly blink at you to say 'i am comfortable, I am pleased', they headbutt you as their form of a hug, they groom you as they would a kitten to care for you, they rub their scent on you to say 'this is my human, all mine' and it reassures them of your bond. Cows will also groom you, and enjoy being pet as it is relexing and they truly trust you. Also elephants get excited and happy looking at humans because we are to them as dogs are to us- they think we're cute, and want to play and pet us.

    If you've lost someone, and you feel like that are completely gone from you life. Think about the impact they have had on you, on your loved ones, on others and think of how that impact continues to live on throughout all of life, that impact won't die with them either. The chain of life goes on.

    Your body is home to its own unique ecosystem, the human gut. Sounds gross, but billions of little creatures living inside you are helping you digest things, dispose of waste, and survive natural toxins in the food you consume.

    If you ever feel like you're useless, or that your existence means nothing, that's not true. You literally mean the world to your gut flora.

    Put one foot in front of the other. When life gets hard, just waking up, getting out of bed and starting the day is an achievement and that's okay. Work at taking one step at a time and focus on the things you have control over. As the baby of my family (I'm now 60), I lost my four siblings and parents by the time I was 35 through suicide and drug and alcohol addiction. I am the only person responsible for my well-being. I know that.

    All those embarrassing/cringy memories that come flooding into your mind when you least expect it?

    Nobody else remembers them.

    Every last one of us has them, it's part of this complicated process called living. While you're busy remembering yours', everyone else is remembering their own.

    Its in the past, nothing you can do right now can make it any better; chalk it up as a lesson and reap the exp.

    "About 65 % of America's aluminum is currently recycled. Every minute an average of 123,097 aluminum cans are recycled. On average, Americans recycle 2 out of every 3 aluminum cans they use. The average aluminum can contains more than 50% post-consumer recycled aluminum."

    Its just aluminum but it shows that we CAN as a society recycle over half of the stuff we use and we can start keeping the world clean. That and a push to renewable energy would be nice.

    Meantime Trump has lifted a lot of laws aimed to prevent environment pollution and preserve nature and wildlife. He even allowed fracking in some wildlife reserves. Reminiscent of some European leader in the previous century that said "If I go down, this country goes down."

    People Are Comforting Each Other With Uplifting Facts, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones We have been born into arguably the best point in human history.

    True that we have a whole slew of troubles. These issues are only minor examples compared to the plagues, social Darwinism, and overall pretty crap quality of life you’d live say 100 years back.

    We still have those plagues, racial biases and hatred but we are lucky that we are alive in a time where over the past century so many strives towards equality have been made.

    Except Black Licorice, we are unfortunately still in that era.

    Every day you wake up is a new day. It's up to you with how you want to use your energy that day. The only person to blame for not achieving your goals is .... Y O U. You can either decide the "world is against you" and shrivel up and die and blame others for your mistakes (kinda like tRump) or you can take ownership and responsibility and works towards becoming a better person.

    Wouldn't bet on it though. As a rule of thumb, gas gauge should never be any lower than 25%. Driving on empty can cause that the sediments, residu and pollution from the bottom of your gas tank end up in your engine.

    When you die, if you cease to exist, then you won't be able to miss things. So if the thought of losing everything in life causes you distress, think of the fact that you won't be here to miss it. That thought saved me from a lot of sorrow one night.
