If You’re Tired Of All The Recent Negative News, These 46 Wholesome Pics Will Restore Your Faith In America
Former United States President John F. Kennedy once said, “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.” Since the election the majority of U.S citizens feel that race relations have gotten worse. These poor race relations coincide with a record high in political divides, reaffirming the popular phrase that the U.S is now a nation divided.
It can all seem overwhelming at times, so stop and take a minute. Take a break from the bad news on your social media feeds, the political pundits, and hateful rhetoric. Bored Panda wants you to remember all the good things that still happen day to day and that we can all do a small part in bringing more tolerance. We have gathered a list of stories that show random acts of kindness people have shown to their fellow citizens, and we hope it will restore some faith you have in humanity. Scroll down below and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Then back again to his friends he went, his young heart happy and well content..”she’s somebody’s mother boys, you know, for all she aged and poor and slow; and I hope somebody would lend a hand to help my mother, you understand, if ever she too is old and gray, and I should be somewhere far away.“ And that “somebody’s mother” bow low her head in her home that night and the prayer she said was, God, please be kind to that noble boy... who is somebody’s son and pride and joy.

“The woman was old, ragged and gray and bent with the chill of a winter’s day; The street was wet with the recent snow and the woman’s feet were aged and slow. She stood at the crossing and waited long, alone uncared for, amid the throng of human beings who passed her by none heeded the glance of her anxious eye. Down the street with laughter and shout, glad in the freedom that school was out, came the children like a flock of sheep, hailing the snow piled white and deep. Past the woman so old and gray, hastened the children on their way; none offering a helping hand to her, so meek so timid afraid to stir, lest the carriage wheels or the horses’ feet should crowd her down in the slippery street. At last came one of the merry troop, the happiest lad in all the group; he paused beside her and whispered low, “I’ll help you cross if you wish to go.” Her aged hand on his strong young she placed, and so without hurt nor harm he guided her trembling feet along.

I grew up in a kids home (orphanage) after losing my parents. She was my key worker there as well as my carer. When I was too old to live there and had to move out.
She was retiring at the time after 40 years as a carer and said that she couldn't stand to lose me, which kinda works out great because I love her and I couldn't stand to lose her either.

Man In Red Needed Help With Son's Math Homework And Got It From A Stranger On The Subway
So today on my way from work the guy in the red sat down opened up his folder and started reading. A few stops later the guy next to him sat down and asked him what he's studying: "You look a little confused maybe I can help?". He says his son failed a math test: "They're learning fractions so I'm just teaching myself this over again so I can help him I'm 42 & don't know any of this so I'm re teaching myself." The guy in the black informed him he use to be a math teacher so he asked the guy to quiz him and everything he got wrong or was confused about he broke it down and corrected him. By the end of my train ride the guy in the red had a better understanding. He can bring home a new method and teach his child. I really love seeing things like this especially in New York.

So My Dads Tire Blew Up On The Freeway And This Dude, With A Confederate Flag Tattoo, Wearing A Confederate Flag T-Shirt, With Confederate Flag Car Stickers, Stopped And Changed Our Tire. My Mind Is Blown, Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover
Blue Cicada 6 years ago
Here in southern Ohio folks wear the Confederate flag in order to DECLARE that they are racist (and frequently profess other bigotries as well). They will say it's to show pride in their Southern heritage, then spew racist viewpoints, then reassert that said racism is part of their Southern heritage. The Confederate flag might have had non-racist usage in some instances in the past, but if you're seeing it north of the Mason-Dixon Line today, it's frequently used as a declaration of hatred.

These are wonderful heart wrenching stories. An example to all of how it could be if there was more humanity, less hatred and greed, and better understanding of each others needs. We are all on this planet together and not just in this pandemic together, and need to work together if we are to ultimately survive the unknowns ahead. We need each other. We must all get on and respect every person regardless of their nationality , colour or creed. We evolved from apes, developed intelligence and and must use it wisely and will only survive as a species if we act now to make our planet a better. For those with most of our financial resources I would say, spend it on making this world great instead of pretending we can live on other planets. This notion is idiotic to say the least. If there was the possibility of trips to those places only the ultra rich could avail.

There is enough oversaturation of bad news in the media to become a nihilist, so I understand your view point, and do believe it's justified to feel betrayed by the current political onslaught. However, the pictures, and what you stand for, "are also America". It is unhealthy for a critical mind to be exclusively be fed negative news about a country you live in 24/7. The U.S. has flaws and good stuff.

Maybe take the picture of Davonte Hart hugging the cop down? There’s good reason to believe that he was coerced into hugging the officer. His mom drove him off a cliff in California earlier this year. I’m just not sure that that picture is the best way to honor him.

Fact is, there are far more of these stories than the hateful ones. Unfortunately these stories of kindness don't generate enough ratings so hate is what the news gives us.

These make my heart smile. With all the vitriol and hate in the world, these are rare moments caught forever. In bad times, always look for the helpers.

We are NOT who we voted for. We are human beings with souls, regardless of the our gender, the color of our skin, our language, or our religion. If we can remember that, we will persevere, if not, we are lost.

What I like most is that race is hardly mentioned here. We are all just people, and it's great to see that people are people (Thanks Depeche Mode) without making any deal about race. Bravo.

This made my day :) Unfortunately, I'm also crying hysterically, I really didn't expect this at all, but I'm grateful. These acts of kindness are really what give meaning, what life should be about...

While I appreciate the simple beauty of all of this, let's not forget that we need to look to local, state, national and international policy, regulates, laws etc. that protect the rights of the individual and empower the poorest among us, In other words act locally, think globally.

Exceptional post, there must be acts of kindness, we are unable to see, I am certain of it, unfortunately, of late the turmoil of racism, has us forgetting,there are good people, of all colors, kindness is all around us, it may not be visible, but just around the corner !!!

I've been wiping tears since like the 3rd picture. These pictures just prove that it's not over just yet, there's more work to be done but it begins with us. Hopefully it will turn around sooner than later.

These are wonderful heart wrenching stories. An example to all of how it could be if there was more humanity, less hatred and greed, and better understanding of each others needs. We are all on this planet together and not just in this pandemic together, and need to work together if we are to ultimately survive the unknowns ahead. We need each other. We must all get on and respect every person regardless of their nationality , colour or creed. We evolved from apes, developed intelligence and and must use it wisely and will only survive as a species if we act now to make our planet a better. For those with most of our financial resources I would say, spend it on making this world great instead of pretending we can live on other planets. This notion is idiotic to say the least. If there was the possibility of trips to those places only the ultra rich could avail.

I have high levels of anxiety, special agoraphobia and have been going through a depression cycle. I have no words, just not enough words to express my gratitude for the boredpanda .com team and the posts herein. It doesnt change instantly my heart, the mental confusion and emotional rollercoster dont just disappear, but for someone like my that oscilattes between panick attacks, uncontrolable emotional pain and occasional mental mess (to the point of not risking leaving the house for fear of forgetting to look sideways for cars or cooking for fear of forgetting the stove is on- trust me the struggle is real), your posts make me cry. This post made me cry- of joy; i havent been capable of crying even for sadness in a long while. The catharsis, the release that comes with crying is underestimated. THANK YOU with all my heart for bringing a bit of sunshine to my day. God bless you for this.

These were all just so sweet, and very sad in a way. Wish we could see more of this in the news and less of the crazy and hateful. I wonder how much of it would stop if there was no notice taken of it? Although exposing the crazy and hateful for what it is can make a difference at times, too.

Um, i know that i'll be killed, but... has anybody noticed that all of this are just featured black and white people? I believe that solidarity should be global. Does black people support Asians and Mexicans too, or they only go for the whites? Sorry, but it feels a bit hypocritical. Black and white are not the only ethnicity that exist.

Missing: the pictures of young children being ripped from their mother's arms. I'm sorry, but while these pictures are heartwarming, and remind us that there are decent people all over the world, this is not America.

There is enough oversaturation of bad news in the media to become a nihilist, so I understand your view point, and do believe it's justified to feel betrayed by the current political onslaught. However, the pictures, and what you stand for, "are also America". It is unhealthy for a critical mind to be exclusively be fed negative news about a country you live in 24/7. The U.S. has flaws and good stuff.

America is the word used for the United States. We're the only country with the word "America" in our name, and our citizens go by the denonym "American".
