random act of kindness

It's extremely easy to get caught up in the grind of daily life and assume the worst in people. Sure, bad things happen, but it's important to remember that people still do wholesome things for the love of the game. There are still girls setting up dirt restaurants and janitors getting well-deserved jobs. There are still blessed images and stories people tell each other about wholesome grandmas summoning demons. As much as it seems like the grind never stops, people don't stop trying to be nice, either.

Sometimes, we need a little wholesome to keep us moving through these strange times. This beautiful story centers on an old and cheery senior who mistook a man's car for a taxi. Fortunately, the man was open-minded to embracing the experience, and gave "Jerry" the ride he needed, free of charge. Lovely stuff. 

The world's full of enough troubling chaos as it is. Let's mix it up with a welcomed wave of wholesome goodness. This AskReddit thread has people sharing the kindest things they've seen, or done themselves. Spread that positive energy. 

Anyone who's put in a full day's work in the wrong shoes can attest to this one. The idea of not having enough money to go to work is completely absurd and stupid, and it's awesome that this stranger helped out this guy on principle. For another act of generosity, here's a  random act of kindness from a total stranger using a Redbox rental.

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). 

Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is NOTHING at all...
