The world is full of wonder and goodness. But you often have to consciously look for it when things get truly tough and it feels like everything’s chaotic. A reminder that there are still people out there willing to be kind, supportive, and empathetic can restore a bit of your faith in humanity.

Today, we’re featuring some of the newest and best posts from the sprawling ‘Be Amazed’ online community, which aims to share some of the most positive and—unsurprisingly—amazing things about life, from examples of altruism to impressive nature photos. Keep scrolling to lift your spirits! Oh, and don’t forget to upvote your favorite pics.

Bored Panda reached out to Glenn Geher, Ph.D., to learn about kindness from an evolutionary perspective, as well as how we can all find joy during particularly stressful times. Dr. Geher is a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author. You'll find our interview with him as you read on.

Give It Up For This Hero

Smiling woman remembered for her bravery and sacrifice, highlighting fascinating acts of heroism.

This is Victoria. She died a hero saving her students from school massacre gunman. She hid first graders in the cabinets and closets after hearing the gunfire. When the shooter came to her classroom, she told him that her students were in the gym. He then gunned her down and moved on. She saved the lives of all of her studens.
Please pass this on if you see it. She deserves to be remembered for her brave. Bless her

Stop allowing civilian to have automatic rifle. If they need weapon for self-defense, a pistol should be enough.

At no time should any gun be considered as "protection". Please note how many countries operate without this insanity.

Instead of adding to a useless online argument about gun laws, I’m going to honor this woman by giving her name; Victoria Soto. I did a project with my 7th graders where I had them research lesser-known heroes from a list I’d come up with; she was one I had on my list.

This is not a positive story. This is disgusting. No civilian needs to own a gun for any reason. Period. Not self-defense; there are other, better options. Not hunting; bows and crossbows are a thing. No. Civilian. Needs. A. Gun.

"Kindness in humans is very interesting from an evolutionary perspective. At first glance, kindness doesn’t seem to make much evolutionary sense—nature doesn’t usually select for properties that help others at a cost to oneself. But in humans, things are a bit different," Dr. Geher explained to Bored Panda in an email.

"We evolved to live in stable social groups and at some point, cooperation became a core element of the human experience. With that, people who developed reputations as kind (as opposed to as selfish or greedy) actually did quite well," he said.

"Being seen as kind makes one more attractive as a friend, collaborator, and romantic partner. And this fact has shaped our psychology such that we tend to value kindness in others quite a bit."

    Insulin

    Historic image of scientists administering insulin in 1922 at the University of Toronto, highlighting fascinating facts in medicine.

    In 1922, at the University of Toronto, scientists went to a hospital ward with children who were comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract - insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. One by one, all of the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope.

    It's worse than that. Our tax money directly funds pharmaceutical dr ug development, yet we pay the highest prices in the world for medication. Also, because of government delays and red tape, generic versions of those dr ugs (which are often cheaper), are slow to be put on the market.

    Wow, This Is Amazing

    Four students developed a nail polish to detect d***s, standing in front of a brick wall.

    Four college students from North Carolina State University developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to certain d***s often used to d***g women, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger. If her drink was tampered with, she'll know within seconds.

    First and foremost, the "news" was from 2015 and -turns out- this invention didn't really work. They tried to use the company (Undercover Colors) to look for founding for a overly-complex and unrealistic electronic test kit, until ultimately folded in 2019. Their website is now in use by Thailandese scammers. Second, "drink spiking test kits" exist, are readily available, cost a few cents each and actually work, contrary to this alternative. Third, "stir a drink with a finger" is a plain stupid strategy if you plan to be discreet, and there is not a single user case where a nail polish is more effective than a plain paper strip.

    "Often used" may depend on where you are. Sweden had many cases where drugging was claimed but extremely few was actually in the blood. Large amounts of alcohol was on the other hand very common and most cases could be explained with "drunk, not drugged".

    Dr. Geher also shed some light on finding goodness and joy even when everything feels very tense and chaotic. "How people respond to stressful situations is a major factor in who someone is at their core. Stressful situations often bring out the worst in people, leading to anxiety, depression, and sometimes anger—things that characterize the worst of the human emotional experience," he told Bored Panda.

    "Finding joy and goodness during stressful times is not always easy. But there are some kinds of experiences that famously help people to de-stress. Getting out into nature has been found to have positive effects when it comes to reducing stress. Sharing one’s emotional experiences with close others often is helpful as well," he said.

    "Another one I’ll put out there pertains to creativity—it is hard to be stressed while painting a watercolor of a beautiful natural landscape, for instance."

    Chiune Sugihara Risked His Life In Saving The Jews From Nazis

    Portrait of Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat who saved 6000 Jews during WWII by issuing travel visas.

    Chiune Sugihara - this man saved 6000 jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up jews, Sugihara risked his life by issuing unlawful travel visas to jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hours a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, wit-nesses claim he was still writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world did not know what he had done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died

    Meanwhile in China, John Rabe, a fully fledged believer in the N**i Party, is credited with helping to save over 250,000 Chinese civilians from Japanese atrocities during the Nanking m******e. No matter your culture or your beliefs, when faced with people actually being m******d in real life, not in theory, some people will find the courage to stand up and say no, this is where we draw the line. Japan and N**i Germany m******d millions of civilians between then and committed all kinds of atrocities but these two men, both loyal supporters of their respective governments, still risked their lives to save the people in front of them when the deaths became a tangible thing.

    Nope. One among many, while still too few. In Nanking/Nanjing there was John Rabe. In Warsaw there was Irena Sendler. In Bordeaux there was the Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes. In Sofia there was Dimitar Peschew. The list goes on and a number of names can be found on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_Jews_during_the_H*******t, including people who risked their lives to hide persons at their own homes or diplomats and international businessmen, who used their positions to save dozens or even thousands.

    As many have noted, Arizona does not set the retail price, that's up to the retailers. Arizona even offers a can that doesn't have the suggested retail price. That being said, I think Arizona still sells the tea to the retailers at it's original wholesale price, so the retailers are making bank on those cans.

    Dr. Geher noted that stress is "essentially the bane of our psychological existence."

    "And let's face it: These days, there is plenty to be stressed about. Finding healthy ways that reduce stress for you is key to living a happy and fulfilling life. It may be exercise, nature, meditation, art, reading, crochet, etc. But once you find what works for you, make sure to institutionalize that into your daily life—doing so will be helpful when inevitable stressors come your way."

    Just before h*****d a paparazzi photo appeared in the media with the headline "crack panther" so many jumped to the wrong conclusion; rather than questioning whether he was ill he was labelled as a d**g a****t. I cancelled my subscription to every publication that ran that headline, admittedly my little protest meant nothing, but I had to do something.

    Human beings are hardwired in such a way that they focus more on the negative aspects of life more than the positives. This might be useful for survival, but it also means that you tend to have a slightly warped perspective of how the world can be.

    Living through extremely distressing events like pandemics and armed conflicts and spending far too much time on social media, following every single negative development, can lead to empathy burnout, exhaustion, and chronic anxiety.

    Of course, real life isn’t black and white. It’s nuanced. There’s joy and sorrow, triumph and horror, beauty and destruction, altruism and greed. And so, it’s important to recognize that no matter how horrible or wonderful life seems at the moment, the human experience is much deeper and more varied than it might appear. It would be a tad naive and short-sighted to believe that absolutely everything is amazing/horrible.

    Though this means that there’s always potential conflict waiting behind every moment of joy, there are also silver linings to look for during stressful and tense times. It’s up to us to remember to focus on the positives when we’re drowning in stress.

    People tend to pay more attention to bad things and overlook the positives due to evolution, Verywell Mind explains.

    It’s likely that in early human history, paying attention to “bad, dangerous, and negative threats” was of utmost importance for survival. To put it simply, it’s theorized that people who were “more attuned to danger” and paid more attention to the bad things surrounding them were more likely to survive and, therefore, pass on their genes.

    Negativity bias, also known as positive-negative asymmetry, is something that we’ve all felt in our lives. For example, it’s why you might feel much worse when you get criticized for messing up than when you get praised for doing a good job.

    Or why an irritating comment from someone you know can ruin an otherwise perfectly fine day. In short, the average person is more biased toward negativity simply because of how our psychology and biology evolved to keep us safe(r).

    Furthermore, human beings are more likely to remember traumatic experiences, react more strongly to negative stimuli, and respond more strongly to negative rather than equally positive events.

    On top of that, people tend to learn more from negative outcomes and experiences than from positive ones. Negativity bias is also why the average person is more motivated to avoid losing something than to gain something.

He was a scientist, engineer, professor and a Holocaust survivor who held the door of his classroom shut during the Virginia Tech shooting. Although he was shot through the door, Liberescu managed to prevent the gunman from entering the classroom until most of his students had escaped through windows. He saved 22 of his 23 students. Librescu was posthumously awarded the Order of the Star of Romania, the country's highest civilian.

    Hmm, but also bear in mind that in Japan, a company must prove it has made reasonable effort to avoid layoffs, including reducing salaries of managers/CEOs and the like, so whether or not the dude wanted to do this, it may well have been a case of the system working as designed. (As an employee of a Japanese company, I like to know these things).

    A NORMAL human being; CEO or not, would stop to think "hmmm..do I really need 10 million more per year or do I have enough for myself, my family and future generations?". If person truly is normal, the answer should be "no, I don't need more money so I will make it better for other people".

    Satoru Iwata, he was quite a unique CEO. We have him to thank for allowing the huge risk that was the Wii to be released, as well as the DS. He often referred to himself as a gamer before a businessman, and it really did show.

    Meanwhile, Healthline explains that even though negativity appears to be our “default setting,” we can still override it.

    For example, you can increase your positivity by being more mindful of what is and isn't important in your life. You can also focus on more positivity by looking at what you’re grateful for and what you value.

    Dan Black, A Man Who Sacrificed His Chance To Walk Again For A Disabled Boy

    A wheelchair-using man with a smiling boy; an inspiring story of selfless donation for stem cell surgery.

    A UK man became paralyzed after a cycling accident and spent four years raising $26,000 to pay for a stem cell treatment that might help him walk again. However, upon hearing about a disabled boy needing surgery (who stood a better chance of success), he donated all the money to him instead.

    Dan Black is still raising money for his own surgery 10 years in. The surgery for both him and the boy is still experimental which is why the NHS will not cover it. The boy flew to the U.S. for the treatment and two years later he's walking on his own.

    Apparently because it's experimental - meaning an unknown, potentially high risk for the patient at a high cost and no reasonable forecast on the chances of success.

    To those confused by Tobias Reaper's comment, when Cena was wrestling his catchphrase was 'You can't see me'. He also recorded a studio album with his cousin, Tha Trademarc, with that title in 2005, so it's a running joke for people to say that he isn't in photographs even though he obviously is there.

    The picture just reminded me of one of our dogs who, for some reason, apparently didn't like anyone watching him pọọp. He'd go off a little way behind a tree and do his business there. Problem is, these were all old, tall, skinny pine trees that had long ago shed their lower branches and he really looked funny with his head hanging out from one side of the trunk and his bụtt from the other.

    The news is worse, and better, than typically reported. The bad news is that the lack of a male Northern White Rhinoceros means that the population is functionally extinct; there are no males for these two females to breed with. The not-so-bad news is that "Northern White Rhinoceros" is not a species, just a population. The kinda amazing news is that they've created embryos from s***m from deceased NWR males and eggs from living NWR females and are implanting them in SWR "surrogate mothers."

    The Northern White rhino is "functionally extinct" since Sudan had to be euthanized in 2015 after months of declining health. He leaves his daughter, Najin, and his granddaughter, Fatu. Scientists are using Fatu's eggs and the s***m of Sudan and other dead males in an attempt to breed more via IVF, but neither female can sustain a pregnancy, so they used a female Southern White rhino as a surrogate. An entire species wiped out due to poaching and climate change, i.e. human greed and ignorance. And we have the unmitigated gall to refer to ourselves as the superior animal when we're nothing more than voracious apex predators.

    Is this animal a clown for us? Please, people, start thinking. He wants to roam free in the ocean, not to play cheap tricks to amuse you. Would you like to be locked up in a narrow place, a sugarcube on your nose, allowed to snap it on demand?

    Actually, it's not uninhabited since it's a breeding area for puffins, common shags, fulmars, great skuas, and gulls. Not every square inch of land needs to be suitable for human habitation. We do share the planet with other life forms.

    Wilfred Brimley was born during the great depression and served in the Marines. He worked as a ranch hand and got into acting because he blacksmithed and shoed horses for movies in Hollywood. Whereas, Paul Rudd was born wealthy, in 1969, was an 80s frat boy, used family connections to get a start in acting and has subsequently never made a film with artistic depth. This is an apples and oranges comparison.

    20,000 years is a drop in the ocean as far as evolution is concerned, plus we were never "all monkeys" anyway. We share a common ancestor with the other primates, but we were **never** "monkeys". What you're demonstrating is a deep seated ignorance of both science and facts, common among all truly stupid people.

    The House on the Rock in Wisconsin has an infinity room like this. Part of the floor is plexiglass.
