There’s plenty of things in life that will get you down. It’s good to stay informed and aware, but the constant bombardment of horror stories, especially lately, can be really draining. No, that doesn’t make you a selfish person. It makes you a human with feelings. It’s okay to need to get away from it all for a little while. And we’re here to help. We’ve made not one but TWO collections of things that will make you feel better about the world.
First up, we have a collection of good deeds done by ordinary people. They’re not big fancy deeds, but nice things that help people out. Knowing that there are people out there who do these acts will make you feel better, and might even inspire you to try a good deed of your own!
1.) This store looks out for the less fortunate.
2.) Conscientious kids are the best.
3.) Protecting and serving means a lot more that catching criminals.
4.) Even something seemingly superficial can do so much.
5.) It’s ingenious AND it saved a kitty.
6.) In case you needed another reason to love Chris Pratt.
7.) You don’t need to have a lot to give a lot.
8.) Are you sobbing yet?
9.) Garbage collectors work hard, people. Let’s help them out.
10.) They’re doubly honest.
11.) Sometimes people need a little inspiration, and then the good deeds keep coming!
12.) A good deed can be very small and still make a huge difference.
13.) Bullying also exists in the animal world.
14.) Good deeds can, and should, be done for everyone.
Next up, we have a couple of cute animals being cute. You can’t stay mad at the world when you share it with these critters.
This Cuddly Cat.
This kitty with its Grandpa.
This interspecies friendship.
This baby Taz.
This red panda.
This dashing pup.
