We've ran plenty of stuff on the red flags you'd do well to keep an eye out for. What about the signs that someone you've crossed paths with is actually just a genuine, good-hearted kind of individual? For all you know you've met someone who's just good people, and maybe worth trying to befriend. In that case, check out these huge green flags that often go overlooked.
faith in humanity
This kind and generous plumber is being hailed as an angel in a plumber's outfit, for his act of kindness with a 91-year-old grandmother who needed her boiler fixed. It's little stories like these that actually manage to restore our faith in humanity. In a world of so many fails, it's nice to have a wholesome win every now and again.

We're not crying you're crying. The happy ending here really ties the whole thing together nicely.
This off duty cop intervened like a true hero when he overheard a full-fledged douche mistreating his date. At one point it sounds like he heard him threaten the poor, terrified lady by telling her he knew where she lived cause he picked her up. The cop proceeded to handle the situation like a professional, and get the guy's information. After the date from hell dipped, the cop invited the shaken woman to sit down and finish her meal with his family.
Construction worker Jason Haney is out here restoring our faith in humanity. He acted on an idea to cheer up hospitalized children by creating an 8-foot-tall cutout of Where's Waldo, and hiding it on site everyday for the kids in the Memorial Children's Hospital in South Bend, Indiana. It's people like this that make us think there might be a little hope left in the world after all.
This may come as a shock, but sometimes good things happen. And sometimes when bad things happen, people still care about each other. The idea is sort of foreign to us, but it's probably healthy to be aware of happy things sometimes. For more, here are wholesome memes to give your day a healthy pep talk.
A brave young journalist named Joanna Chiu has a Twitter thread going viral. It's about stepping in when you see a despicable creeper doing their creepy thing out in public. This kind of courageous heroism is an inspiration, and sets the tone for how other people should handle creepers if/when they catch them out in public.
An inspiring tale of kindness in turmoil. This woman's life was struck by a tragic and terrifying disaster. Then, on her birthday of all days a brave stranger stepped up to make her special day worth smiling over. This is just the kind of story that restores our faith in humanity (temporarily).
This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.
