Oh man, buckle right on up for a feels trip. This sweet old lady never met a mean and inconsiderate call center manager's attitude with anything but patience and understanding. It's amazing how, considering what she was going through with the love of her life. Fortunately, there was a particular call center employee on hand that prioritized helping make this lady's request come true, to just shine a little bit of light on the darkness of the situation. Beautiful stuff, really. 

Talk about a creative way to go about ensuring someone gets their lost wallet returned to them. Every now and again it's nice to have the pleasant reminder that the world has its fair share of considerate, awesome human beings. 

Jerry sounds like a real gem of a human being. There's something plain old admirable about anyone who can maintain their self-esteem in spite of difficult, if not outright miserable external circumstances.

Love how even when he ended up succeeding while his old boss failed, he still didn't take the opportunity to dance in glee around their messy debacle. 

It's a personal choice to spend your whole day learning about mistakes and horror, but at the same time it can get to be an enormous bummer that makes you lose faith in people.

This guy's Twitter thread about misinterpreting his classmate's behavior, is a valuable lesson in mindfulness, not leaping to conclusions, and ultimately thinking outside of oneself. Looks like the two dudes ended up having that lunch together by the end of the story, after all. 

This quick and enlightening shopping cart theory aims to determine whether or not a person is good or bad. It boils down to whether or not a person decides to make the "right" choice when they are aware that nobody else is looking. Seems fair enough. Sometimes, it's not about that good act of wholesome kindness that you pull off when you know you'll receive recognition and praise. Instead, it can be a more pure reflection of your morality, when you're out there doing the right things without any inflation of your ego.
