A Teacher’s Sacrifice Becomes His Strength…. So Beautiful
A science teacher from rural Kenya who donates most of his salary to help poorer students has been crowned the world's best teacher and awarded a $1m prize, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries.
Wholesomeness is one of those things that's easy to feel but notoriously difficult to explain. It's that cozy, heart-warming sensation that permeates a story, a moment, or an image, something that's pure without being maudlin, kind without being goofy. In a cynical era typified by irony and ceaseless digital din, wholesome content pierces the white noise.
But what really makes something wholesome? Beneath the surface-level friendliness, there's a deeper emotional structure in motion. Ultimately, wholesomeness is authenticity. It resists the compulsion to mock, shock, or manipulate.

Bless This Man
Spencers slave no more 1 month ago
Every time I see this incredible man mentioned in a story or thread, I both smile and tear up. He loves the children that society doesn't acknowledge or want, knowing full well he gives them everything they need in their lives. A man who actively demonstrates quality over quantity.

A very rare and wonderful human being. So sorry that he passed, but those he helped will remember his kindness. 💔

Instead Of Leaving His Parents,this Guy Just Carried Them For 160km
Wholesome moments are rooted in genuine care or compassion, a granny showing her grandchild how to bake, a stranger helping another without expectation of reward, a pet responding with pure affection. What makes these moments different from "cute" or "nice" ones is the emotional authenticity behind them.
#7
Fathers Figure
A middle school in Dallas organized a 'Breakfast with Dads' event, but soon realized that some students did not have father figures.
So, the school made a Facebook post requesting 50 volunteers. Instead of just 50, over 600 men from various backgrounds showed up the next day to mentor the students and share breakfast with them.

Priorities
Rick Moranis. He is the star of 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids'. He became a stay-at-home dad primarily to take care of his 2 children after his wife passed away in 1991. Let's take a moment to appreciate this star who had his priorities straight.
#9
The Gentlemen Club
A teacher at an elementary school in SC wanted to help little boys with no dad at home so he started a "Gentleman's Club" where these little guys dress up and learn to shake hands, make eye contact, etc. He even has extra jackets and ties for boys who can't afford them.
Wholesomeness isn't performing or pretending, it simply " is". In a culture where so much communication is strategic, this kind of authenticity is like a breath of fresh air. There's also some safety in wholesomeness. It's the only place in culture where people can drop their guard. There, it takes the form of comforting material, anecdotes highlighting small gestures of kindness, status updates about improbable pairs, or parents laughing and proudly embracing their kids' quirkiness.

2 Years Of Kindness, He Will Never Be Forgotten

As a community, we could do so much more for those in need. Not all of us, of course, a lot are already at their limit, but there's also a lot who can. BTW, did you know that a lot of museums need volunteers? You might be able to donate work in a field that is a hobby of yours!

These are effective because they reassure users that there is such a thing as goodness, that not everything needs to be cruel or ironic in order to be interesting. The tone is always warm rather than superior or self-righteous, it's welcoming, making the audience feel good " with" someone instead of in spite of them.

Things Like This Still Makes Me Believe People Are Good
Mark Bustos works full-time at a boutique salon where prices start at $150. On Sunday, his only day off, Mark goes out onto the streets of New York City and gives free haircuts to the homeless

It is so important for the homeless popular to feel good about themselves despite their dire living conditions. This is a good man!

Wish More Professors Were Like This, This Is The Sweetest Thing
Professor Sydney Engelberg, was unfazed when a student's baby began crying in class. The embarrassed mom stood up to leave, but Engelberg scooped the kid up and soothed him in his arms without missing a beat in the lesson. Professor Engelberg allows mothers who attend his masters' lectures to bring their children and even breastfeed. No mother should have to choose between a child and an education.
Wholesomeness is typically a function of contrast. A display of kindness in the face of harsh circumstances or display of decency in a cynical world rings more because it defies expectation. A gruff, hard-edged construction worker rescuing kittens, a young person helping an elderly neighbor, these resonate because they defy expectation. They show us that goodness isn't fragile or silly, but something quietly sturdy.

I Love When People Help The Homeless, His A Really Good Man
There's a social aspect to it, too. When people share wholesome content online, they're not doing it to go around sharing goodness, they're signaling that kindness matters. It's social recalibration, in a sense, a call to recall that compassion, humor, and softness are worth something culturally, too. Even brief, viral moments of wholesomeness can re-member people to that collective hunger for humanity that modern life shrinks.

Respect!
'Pal, you are a hero': Chris Evans sends Captain America shield to the little boy who saved his sister from a dog attack. Walker was badly injured, requiring a 2-hour surgery and 90 stitches to his face, while saving his 4-year-old sister.

He Made The Right Move
I noticed a guy on Fb that was better than me at mounting TVs so instead of hating on him, I reached out and offered to pay him to teach me how to perfect my craft. He didn't accept the money, instead we formed a partnership and the rest is history. Brothers don't hate, we elevate each other.

This Is So Sweet
Grandfather with Vitiligo crochets dolls for children with same condition
Finally, something is wholesome not because it's flawless or neater, but because it feels real and restorative. It gives us permission to care, to smile warmly, to feel something unguarded for a moment. In a world that rewards in spades being detached and ironic, wholesomeness survives as an act of quiet rebellion, proof that sincerity, even in small doses, still has power to move us.

Mental Health Awareness
Anthony Elmore 1 month ago (edited)
To be honest, I feel like we, as a species, are quite adept at ignoring one s*x's troubles over our own. I know this might sound a bit self-righteous, but to be honest, I have no idea how to fixe the issue or even begin fixing the issue. Otherwise I'd be collecting my nobel peace prize. I just don't know how to fix the pain for both sides. You'd think the fact that one else is collecting their peace prize for it would be sufficient comfort, and yet all I can focus on is that we're both in pain as a direct result of the other. I don't even know where to begin.

Vance Flosenzier, The Uncle Who Saved His Nephews From The Jaws Of Death
In 2001, a man wrestled a 7-foot bull shark to retrieve the severed arm of his nephew. After saving the boy, the man dived back in, seized the shark and wrestled it to shore where a ranger shot it. The arm was pried from its gullet, put on ice, rushed to the hospital and successfully sewn back on.
Lexi 1 month ago
Holy cr@p! Glad the nephews arm was saved, bet they both have awesome stories about scars - and this one (pulls sleeve up), bull shark, bit it right off. Uncle Vance dragged that thing on to the beach and pulled my arm out of its guts. Rest is history - don't know why but in my head it was in an Aussie accent, just as likely South Africa

Not All Hero Wear Cape!
When undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer in 2002, Sharon Osbourne was so distressed that she nearly gave up. That's when her husband Ozzy Osbourne invited Robin Williams over to cheer up his wife. In no time, Sharon was heard laughing uncontrollably by her family downstairs and re-started chemo the very next day!
Anthony Elmore 1 month ago
Robin Williams was an inspiration to so many. So much so that it feels selfish to mourn his passing. He overcame his own addictions and become someone we look up to, but even he couldn't deal with how things have turned out. I have no reason to believe that I am even remotely as strong as he as, but still feel that It would be disrespecting him to give into temptation. As a side note, though... Am I the only one who absolutely adores hearing about genre breaches like this? I had recently learned that Elton John was Eminem's rehab sponsor, and felt like the breach between one genre to the next was amazing. I feel like you couldn't get any more different than Elton John and Eminem, but Elton John felt his pain and understood it beyond just face value. I don't know that I could be as accepting, but it's inspiring to know that it IS possible and that there are people I cam learn from to achieve that understanding. It might seem difficult, but it IS possible.

It is very nice to see stories of Police officers helping people. So often the Police are portrayed negatively in the media because of the actions of a few poor examples, yet Police officers are people too, and they do go out of their way to help people, even if this is never shown anywhere.

As a women It disgust me that men even need recognition for what they do automatically, every day, around the world there's more good men out there than bad but like everything else the 'good stuff' never gets enough attention there's plenty of petty, spiteful, thieving, aggressive, female sexual predators out there that are female, look at all the women that a***e their kids daily but there is a culture that is reluctant to view women as equally bad as men, and when men do make kind gestures there is alway an attention seeking women waiting to slap them down and tell them they are not needed
