“One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.” – Sophocles
Kindness exists everywhere if you simply open your eyes and take time to notice. The world might seem overwhelmingly negative at times, but the compassion of humans is the glue that holds it all together. Without kindness, we would certainly perish, because we need one another to survive.
We often forget about our reliance on one another in such an individualistic society, but at our core, we are social creatures. Additionally, we simply could not survive without looking after one another. We hope the following photos will remind you that, even if you feel alone, someone out there cares about you. Miracles happen when you least expect them, so make sure you keep an open heart to the kindness of humanity.
Here are 20 emotional photos that show kindness is very much alive in our world:
1. This woman wanted to see her favorite hockey team one last time, and fans made sure her wish came true.

2. A man wanted to take his own life, so these truck drivers lined up side by side in order to save him. Kindness can truly save lives.
This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to serve the public. But also in that photo is a man struggling with the decision to take his own life. Please remember help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. pic.twitter.com/RBAlCIXT1o
