Random kindness caught on camera is the best newscaster about society still minding the "human" part in "human being."

The problem with these compilations is that they always have the content. It's almost as if there have only ever been 20 acts of kindness caught on film.

Dick with a heart of gold. Will be an rear end in a top hat until he sees it having a concrete effect(taking the guys money), then feels bad about the whole thing. Too prideful to just apologize, so does something to make up for it.

I'm guessing this is in a South Asian country, so actually letting pedestrians cross the street is a BIG EFFING DEAL! Props to that guy :)

I have a friend who lives near New Delhi, where it gets down to 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. People die all the time in that weather because there aren't really any heaters and a lot of people live on the street. So this guy gets his friends together every year and they walk around and distribute blankets, scarves, coats, whatever they can get. It's amazing, because so many members of the middle class in India tend to be in denial about the poverty that's around them every day.

I think I read in the comments Islamabad, Pakistan and you are right! I felt like life was in danger any time I crossed the road in Egypt. And Vietnam. And Thailand. Actually a lot of countries....But that made me feel good

This story about a member of the westborough baptist church leaving the group made me smile. There's something about people doing good things, even if its just recognising that they were doing something bad and just not doing that anymore, that I just find really nice.

I came here to post this. I always loved star trek (I'm actually wearing a trek bathrobe right now), and especially loved TNG, mostly because of Picard. Seeing this, after having dealt with some of the stuff I dealt with as a kid, and after having served with guys who have been in the desert... I can barely see to type this right now.

Well I did say it was cute. I just don't think cute and ugly are mutually exclusive.

Capybaras can definitely be very strange looking depending on what angle you catch them at.

Seeing everybody's feel-good posts and videos, I felt :unsmith: enough to go get birdfeeders and birdseed and mounted four birdfeeders in the part of my yard near the abandoned neighbor's house because who's gonna complain about the noise?

Then I went out to the local eagle nest and finally got to see one of the adults up close.



I feed the birds, and then I get my bald eagle shots. Coincidence? (Yes.)

This is neat! Please post more pics if you get babies. Or even if you don't. But especially if you get babies.
