If You Think People Are The Worst These Days, These 50 Wholesome Pics May Change Your Mind
With so much pain and suffering going on in the world daily, we can sometimes forget just how full of beauty and goodness the world is. Well, today we’re here to remind you that human beings can be truly amazing, kind, and wholesome. In our opinion, there’s hardly anything better than someone reaching out and helping someone without expecting a reward. There can’t be darkness without light, and oh boy, is there a lot of light in the world.
The r/HumansBeingBros subreddit, a massive community of over 3.5 million members, celebrates people being total ‘bros’ to each other. It’s a subreddit that gives you a massive overload of kindness, and it’s nearly impossible not to leave it without a massive smile on your face. We’re featuring their very best posts that might just restore your faith in humanity.
Scroll down for the best pics you’ll probably see all day on the internet. Be sure to spread the cheer: send the post to your friends who need some cheering up. But above everything else, do your best to do something nice for someone else today, Pandas! Kindness has a habit of spreading, so why not give it a gentle nudge or twotoday?
Bored Panda got in touch with Suzanne Degges-White, who told us about altruism, the Golden Rule, and that people are kind to each other due to their family values, spiritual beliefs, and biology. Suzanne is a Licensed Counselor, Professor, and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University, and you'll find our full interview with her as you scroll down.

I remember this. It happened in Philly area. I wonder if this kid ever got the opportunities he deserved for his heroics that day.
Suzanne, from Northern Illinois University, explained to Bored Panda that there are several reasons why we are kind to other people. "Many of us are raised to believe it is the 'right thing to do.' Basically, all spiritual belief systems have a version of the 'Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,'" she said, and most of you reading this will probably agree that you've heard of the Golden Rule in some shape or form before.
"We also do good turns because we know that one day we may be in need of a little 'generosity from the universe,' so it's like putting 'money' into a karma account," she said. However, there's a biological basis for altruism as well.

This isn’t just for school, it’s for everything in life. I was recently in a meeting where a lot of people would have been very negatively impacted by what was being said but didn’t/couldn’t speak up for themselves so I asked the hard questions for them, just to make sure that upper management knew the issues and knew the questions that needed answers. Always be willing to stand up for others.

My best friend struggled in school. She used to say that she knew all the right answers but couldn't say them when she was asked, mostly because of anxiety. She also struggled with reading, the words were all jumbled she said. We thought it was because she needed glasses and her family couldn't afford them. She lived in another town and had to wait for the school bus for 1-3 hours every evening. I stayed with her and read our homework out loud to help her. 15 years later I heard about something called "dyslexia". I called and told her about it, and that's the answer. She got help, and most important of all, she got help with her driver's license. Years after she quit high school because she felt too stupid. I'm still reading out loud. First to my kids and nieces and now to my husband. We're bored in isolation and reading brings a little fun to our dull days.

"Lastly, humans are wired so that when we do something kind for another, we feel good about ourselves and neurotransmitters like endorphins and oxytocin have been shown to get a boost when we do something good for another. It is through cooperation that society functions, so the survival of the human race depends on being willing to help others. Family values, spiritual beliefs, and biology all play a part in this motivation," Suzanne stressed that there are complex reasons why someone might do nice things.
"Many of us take pride in being of service to others as it is culturally valued and we want to hold significance in our worlds. So when we do good deeds, we show others our willingness to help those in distress/need; we live out faith-based encouragement to treat others the way we would like to be treated, we uphold family values, and our brains get a positive jolt of happiness when we help others," Suzanne told Bored Panda.

I Needed This
GoddessOdd 3 years ago
At least a decade ago I seem to remember a news article about a homeless man who lived under a bridge, and would keep an eye out for people who might be considering jumping. If he saw someone heading out he'd walk up and start talking to them, just to say he cared about them. Nice story.
Marie BellaDonna 3 years ago
There was also a man, somewhere in the UK I think, who lived near some cliffs. Whenever he saw someone walking toward those cliffs, who looked like they had tragic intentions, he would go talk to them, and invite them to his house for a cup of tea and conversation. I forget how many lives he saved, but I know it was in the double digits! He's sadly passed away since then. But he was an angel in real life, long before he was an angel in Heaven!!

Unsurprisingly, the community is entirely focused on folks being excellent to each other and posting high-quality, genuine content. The moderators stress that there’s to be no hate speech and no “slap fights. Meanwhile, there’s also zero tolerance for politics, misinformation, and staged submissions. Oh, and if you’re here for memes, you won’t find any—there are other subreddits for that.
The instinct for being kind to others is hard-wired into us, psychotherapist Silva Neves explained to Bored Panda earlier. He told us that our brains reward us for being social and altruistic. At the same time, however, we also have a selfish side that’s focused on survival and hoarding resources.

Done this. It's life changing. Sometimes people out live everyone they love.
Our desire to help others is in constant conflict with our inner wish to act in such a way as to protect ourselves. In short, people are constantly struggling between two different lines of action they’d like to pursue. We’re always on the lookout for how our kindness might backfire on us, according to Silva. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t wonderful benefits that come with being nice to others.
“Being kind is good for us because it gives us a sense of purpose, it raises our self-esteem, and it releases feel-good brain chemicals,” the psychotherapist told us. “It [kindness] is also good for others, obviously. So kindness is actually something that we, humans, are naturally driven to be.”

Saws This On My Facebook Feed

When my friend, dying of cancer, needed to go to the hospital for an infusion (turned out to be the last one), normally an ambulance would transport him. He had been on the Volunteer Fire Department for years, and from a child had loved fire trucks, so, with permission, the department's brand new truck, which he had not even seen, was used to transport him. They set him up behind a plexiglass windscreen, on his stretcher, and took him right down the main street, like a mini-parade. Horns honking, people waving. He died a week or so later. When his wife told me this I was close to crying for joy. WHAT A GIFT.

Might wanna look up how disabled people feel about "inspiration porn". It helps no one. It puts people with disabilities on an impossible pedestal (yeah, not all disabled people can do that either) and makes people without disability feel as if they are underachieving. As I say, no one wins. That is not to say I don't celebrate this post's subject doing really well for herself. Inclusion matters and the promotion of this normalisation is very important. I wish I had seen more positive depictions of disability growing up as it would have helped my self esteem (I am disabled since birth). I'm not judging you and I want you to be aware of the discourse around "inspiration" so you have the knowledge.

We recently got an outstanding deal on a truck, so we will be replacing the car with the truck. Our neighbor, who works at a local rescue mission, has been borrowing a family member’s car for the last few months because his car’s engine finally gave out. He is such a good neighbor and I really hope he accepts our offer to gift him the car!

My dad passed away in June 2019. He left his car to me. I already have a car so I never drove it. I've had several greedy people ask me for it. It just didn't feel right, so I held on to it. I've always felt bad for just letting it sit in my driveway when someone else could be using it. Last August my cousin got into an accident and her car was totaled. She's a wonderful person with a big heart. I called her and told her she could have my dad's car. She couldn't believe it. I let her know that he would have wanted her to have it. That definitely made her day and made me feel so good. Something my dad worked so hard for went to someone who truly needed it.

He said "nope...I've got a daughter and would hope someone would be kind enough to help her out when needed. just pay it forward." Ironically enough...a few weeks later, near the same exit...helped tow a woman with a small compact to a parking lot when her car was pouring oil so bad that her engine was rolling black smoke. I gave her and her dog a lift to the bus station so she could catch a bus back to where she lived 80 miles away. She offered to pay me and I told her the same thing "Pay it forward."

At my son's 2nd birthday party, I went all out. But none of our friends (who promised they'd be there) ended up showing. Thankfully, my son was too young to understand or remember the snub. And thank God for family. My mother, (now-ex, lol) stepfather, my sister, brother-in-law, and my two nephews and niece came. So we still had people. And my son still got plenty of attention, and had plenty of fun. But that was still the last birthday party I ever had for my son, at my own home, lol. After that, I had them at other places (like restaurants, etc) so someone else could do the majority of the cooking and cleaning, lol. In any case, I had a big canopy set up in the back yard, and we had all this food, and not nearly enough guests to eat it. So when some of the neighborhood kids came walking by, we invited them, and their parents, to our yard, to eat and celebrate. The kids were thrilled, the parents were gratified, and I got to share my son's special day with more people, lol. That felt great. 😊

"Maybe at first, you start out doing things to help others only to get attention and praise, but you will find that doing things for others helps you feel good and when you see people’s responses. Once you see the difference you can make in the world and to your own happiness and altruism can grow naturally," she said that when people experience kindness, they are more likely to be kind themselves. At the same time, kindness can be a way of forming strong social bonds and increasing the likelihood of getting help when we need it most.

"There’s an important point too here for people on the receiving end of kindness. If they can, it’s, of course, great to say thank you and add the positive impact it has for you e.g., 'Thank you, It’s great to know that someone cares.'

Cashier Notices The Lady Exhibiting Signs Of A Seizure And Grabs Her Baby Before It Fully Hits Her.

Reacting that quickly was amazing. I looks like she also slowed the woman's fall to try to avoid serious injury.
Sleazy Weaver 3 years ago (edited)
ive seen the video. the cashier, rebecca montano, took the baby while the customer seemed spaced out & then grabbed the customer's arm from across the counter & held her up for a few seconds while the seizure took hold, slowing her fall. without the cashier doing this, the mother could've sustained traumatic brain injury from hitting her head on the linoleum floor with no way to catch herself. rebecca montano saved two lives that day.

Bless this soul. As an epileptic myself, the quick reactions of others when a grand mal seizure occurs is so vital. Even after the seizure is “over” and the brain is hitting the reset button, the person is so vulnerable. They appear awake but in reality have no idea what is going on around them. Awareness is key.
T. D. Bostick 3 years ago
I had something like this happen to me. The victim didn't have a baby, just fell down off her bike in the street. A couple of passersby and I stayed with her, called an ambulance, and made sure no cars accidentally ran over her and nobody took her bike. It was surreal. She was completely unresponsive, albeit breathing, for at least 15 minutes. I'm not sure it was epilepsy because she wasn't shaking. It was a good thing someone helpful was nearby.

The full story was on Youtube. You can see the mother holding the baby trying to hold back her seizure for a couple seconds. The cashier realised what was happening just in time and as soon as the baby left the mother's arms she collapsed on the floor. Another customer came and the cashier (who was the owner as well) gave him the baby so she could call an ambulance. Long story short the mother said she has seizures often and knows when she's going to have one so she tried to withstand it (which is very painful to do) so that her baby could be saved. Fortunately everyone's okay and happy. Mad props to the cashier.

A friend of mine has seizures, and as one is coming on he has a very particular 'look.' He may be standing oddly, just looking straight ahead doing his best to stay upright. It's difficult to describe unless you've seen it a few times. After noticing, it's a matter of grabbing him so he doesn't hit the floor too hard.

Scooters/bikes are meant to do that when traffic is stationary and jay walking isn’t a thing here in UK. If you waited for a crossing to cross the road you’d be in danger of living your entire life on the same side of the road (I exaggerate but seriously, it’s not a thing here).

I Am A Teacher. I Am Also Jewish. I Received This Message Today From A Student After My Introductory Lesson On The Holocaust
Kel_how 3 years ago
The Holocaust is so difficult to teach and I'm not even Jewish. I can't imagine.
Sylvanticx 3 years ago
I am Jewish. The Holocaust is hard to hear about, but we MUST continue to teach and talk about it (and other issues facing Jews. Antisemitism didn't end with the Shoah). For a good Jewish educational book I recommend reading People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn. It's a series of essays on antisemitism. When hearing about the Holocaust, people often think it can never happen again, and it won't if we don't let it, but the way to prevent another Shoah is by teaching about the one that has happened. Never forget.

My French teacher in high school was a holocaust survivor. She was about 5 years old when it all went down. Her parents fought to get her to France to board a ship to America. She said they were hardly fed anything on the ship during the journey. When they arrived in New York, they were met by cousins that took them to a small apartment. There on the table were four whole roasted chickens. She said they picked those birds clean. She was always an upbeat lady..very bold and forward. But she was quiet after she relayed her story. After class, I asked if she was OK. She said that the day she boarded the ship in France was the last time she ever saw her parents. They didn't make it. I couldn't help but give her a hug.

Every job I've ever worked at in the UK, smokers do not get additional breaks, everyone has the same
Donkey boi 3 years ago
This is wrong either way. Either they are saying that non-smokers don't normally get a break? Which means that they need to address that issue! Or that they discriminate against smokers and give the others additional leave. The additional time doesn't add up anyway, Let's do the maths: Japan has an average of 245 working days per year. Two 15 minute smoke breaks a day equates to 122.5 hours. Divide that by the 40 hour working week* and you get just over 3 weeks. (*The Japanese labour Law limits work to a 40 hour week, although realistically around 22% of the working population generally do around 50hour weeks and some employers have a requirement of 80hours of overtime!)

It makes me really sad that people use religion to spread hate in the world.

So I understand homosexuality might not be acceptable to a person based on their religion. I can even understand to a degree that your faith won't allow you to even associate with family that is gay. What I don't understand is taking it further than that and harassing, belittling, abusing etc gay people. Show me in any translation of the Bible (new testament specifically) where it says to persecute homosexuals. It doesn't in any version I've read. Any Christian who actively attacks the LGBT community is a fake Christian, and I suspect the same is true for most other religions

He stayed to make sure that we knew what we were doing, and was late to work because of it. We didn't even get his name. This was like 2 weeks ago? We also were on a tight schedule because we had an exam that went after school, and then had to go change and drive to a track meet.

This Guy Being A True Boss

Exactly. I helped a homeless couple with money each week. They also stand on a corner to ask for help. Turned out the guy had been saving the money to buy an old run down RV. He surprised his partner on her birthday. The RV then had an issue with a bearing going out on the rear wheels. He found a mechanic that would come out to fix it...I offered to pay. Mechanic only needed money for the part and donated his time. They are now mobile and able to get away from the dangerous areas of town where the drug addicts hang out. But they don't leave completely because he is trying to help out as many homeless people as he can to survive on the street. I will help him anyway I can to achieve this, buying tents and sleeping bags for anyone that is newly homeless. I don't care what put them there...I just don't want anyone dying from no one caring.

Their has been studies showing greiving for a pet can actually be more intense than grieving for a loved one. They depend on you for everything and you work your life around them with walks for dogs etc. So you aren't only grieving the loss but the loss of being needed and routine.

My two cats are quite healthy and get regular vet check ups, but they're both entering their teens. I've had pet cats before, but this is the first time that they're "my cats", that I'm the primary care giver and the one they are attached too (and man are they attached ;-p). I've never been there previously when the other pet cats in my life had passed or had to be put down, but I know I will have to deal with that with both of them. I have terrible anxiety about it and try not to think about it. I know I won't be prepared, but I love them so much and wouldn't have it any other way.

I have a colleague who gives us the lates updates on our software about once a month and I think he's doing it really great, good to listen to, always prepared. And he always seems to be absolutly confident. So after being at this company for nearly 10 years I just wanted to tell him how great it is to watch him. And he told me, that he thinks that it's so boring and that he always hesitates to go on these meetings, because he doesn't want to bore anyone. - that blew my mind, I would have nerver imagined that he could think something like this. So, when you think that someone does something great, tell them!

I followed the link and watched the full video. The woman was clearly frantic about her poor little dog! It was awesome seeing him emerge looking wet and bedraggled but otherwise fine. Whew.

I Live Far Away From My Best Friend And He Plays Games On PC. I Don’t Have One Because I Can’t Afford One. He Dropped This On Me Today

Thing is, it's not just a PC. It's a gateway to education and infinite memes. Who can argue with that :)

The thing is, because he's so young, it will probably fade. However it's an endearing thing to do.

Yeah, this. My best friend has a scar from open heart surgery, and while it's still somewhat noticeable when she's wearing a low-cut shirt, it's certainly very faded now.

aw! My son had 4 open heart and 4 cardiac cath - I never told him there was anything wrong - just funky architecture. Now, against literally all the odds he is ski patrol (Half a heart High Altitude Adventure baby!) Cause, ya know, there's nothing wrong with him... he's just a funky monkey...

Random Downpour In Dc, This Guy Jumps Out Of His Car To Share An Umbrella With A Couple Down On Their Luck
Carol Emory 3 years ago
I cannot tell you how fast I go through umbrellas for this reason. Costco sells them in a three pack. I always use the largest one because it's a golf umbrella which doubles as a cane for me. The rest, I give away to anyone who needs one.

Professor Showing Kids How To Buy Cheaper Text Books For His Class
Iifa A. 3 years ago
Resources like textbooks should be available to students at the point of teaching!. I am doing my third degree, and I have bought three books just because I really enjoyed those subjects. All other materials have been made available through college, professors, library. Wikipedia is not a peer-reviewed material. BUT Wikipedia lists reference list that can be useful. Amazon is a seller not an education resource. Again if the book is needed for a course/class it should be available free of charge. I don't understand how higher education costs so much in USA and you still have to pay for access to materials. I got a grant to do my degrees, and all materials were made available before semester started. I'm doing life sciences, so all my journals and articles are behind paywall, but if I email lecturer, author or library they will get me access. This should be standard

Remember the nature of the "new edition" textbook publisher scam. They release a new edition, thereby forcing you to buy the new book instead of used books. However, they are lazy, and essentially change nothing. Ask your teacher if you can get away with the last edition of the book. 9 out of 10 times I tried this throughout college (in general education classes), my professors said the publisher hadn't actually changed any information, just moved chapters around.

I have given away an umbrella to a dad running with a little child to get home from the rain. I had a spare and stopped them as they ran pas me. Told them to keep it. I've also paid for some else's groceries at the supermarket. The guy in front of me had his EFTPOS card declined, I could afford it so I just told the lady add it to my groceries. It isn't hard to make someone else's day a whole lot better.

Once my two little dogs got out of my yard. I was devastated and running around calling their names when an Amazon delivery man asked if I was looking for two dogs. I saw my dogs running around behind him and he explained that he'd decided to stay with them until someone came for them. What a hero! I still think about him and hope my pups didn't make him late to too many deliveries.

I like do things for people because I see the need. I don’t take their picture and post it. I sometimes I tell my husband, sometimes I don’t. It’s almost like it’s between me and God. I always feel like I am the one was blessed afterwards, because I got to witness someone’s happiness.
