21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
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.
1. This picture of Chicago Christians who showed up at a gay pride parade to apologize for homophobia in the Church.

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.

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.

josephf9 10 months agoThese pictures do help restore faith in humanity, but if you really want to have faith in humanity, look in the mirror and realize it is you who must restore faith in your own humanity by your own individual actions and not by following whatever actions of what ever group of which you’re a member. There is no such thing as humanity. You can’t touch humanity. You can’t kill humanity. You can and should touch other individuals like you. Humanity is just a word, a construct of language to describe a relationship between individual people of which you are one with the responsibility of fulfilling your own humanity by your own actions.

Connie J. 10 months agoMy son was in first grade and I knew that he wanted to use his allowance ($5) to buy his sister a gift. He said that he didn’t have his money and I assumed that he lost it. I gave him his allowance the morning before school and thought that he was being irresponsible. After my relentless questioning, he said that he took it to school to give to one of his classmates. He said that he didn’t have a lot of money to get stuff and he wanted him to have his allowance. I couldn’t talk and I immediately started crying. I was so proud and felt awful. Generosity and compassion should start young. He’s 20 now and still a great young man…

eixo 10 months agoThis post restored my faith in humanity. Then I read on Slate that Jack Shepherd pretty much stole the whole thing from Ned Hardy without giving credit, so I lost it again.

masterkaitor 10 months agoWhen I was about 6 years old, I was riding in the car with my father since he was taking me to school. My father has diabetes, and went into convolutions on our way to school. He pulled over and ran into a mail box and then just blacked out and was breathing heavily. I was so scared I was crying. I didn’t know what to do, so I stuck my hand out the window of the car screaming for help. I cannot even count the number of people who just drove past, most of them looking me dead in the eye first. For about an hour, I just sat there, screaming for help, crying. then, I saw a pick up truck stop in the middle of the road. An old man got out of the car and asked me what was wrong, and I told him about my dad having diabetes and getting low. The man called 911, and his granddaughter, who he was taking to school, came and started talking to me. She cheered me up, and then the old man and his granddaughter- who where not extremely late to work and school- put me in their car, buckled me up, and tried to cheer me up while they drove me home. My dad came home a few hours later, he was alright luckily. That was 8 years ago, but I will never forget the old man who helped me when no one else did.
About a year or two ago, we got a letter saying the old man had passed away. I honestly think that he’s still watching after me, wherever he is. -
