Throughout human history, photographs have captured raw, poignant moments that resonate deeply with our shared human experience. From the the desperate mother's gaze during the Great Depression captured in "Migrant Mother", to the jubilant sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square at the end of World War II, these emotional snapshots offer an unfiltered insight into the highs and lows, the triumphs and tragedies, of our collective past.
Instagram page by the name of "Pictures of Humanity" collects such photographs all in one place to share with their audience. Today we'd like to share some of the best ones with you, Pandas.

Why do these posts say "change your perspective on things???" Yes, the world has lots of beauty, people do good every day, but all that bad stuff also is there every day, so I see no reason to change perspective. 2 posts before this one is people who realized their besties actually hate them, this post doesn't change the fact that people use and abuse each other.
I thin these can be good to start healthy conversations. I sent a note to a daughter with that idea.
