If You’re Tired Of All The Recent Negative News, These 46 Wholesome Pics Will Restore Your Faith In America
Former United States President John F. Kennedy once said, “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.” Since the election the majority of U.S citizens feel that race relations have gotten worse. These poor race relations coincide with a record high in political divides, reaffirming the popular phrase that the U.S is now a nation divided.
It can all seem overwhelming at times, so stop and take a minute. Take a break from the bad news on your social media feeds, the political pundits, and hateful rhetoric. Bored Panda wants you to remember all the good things that still happen day to day and that we can all do a small part in bringing more tolerance. We have gathered a list of stories that show random acts of kindness people have shown to their fellow citizens, and we hope it will restore some faith you have in humanity. Scroll down below and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

I grew up in a kids home (orphanage) after losing my parents. She was my key worker there as well as my carer. When I was too old to live there and had to move out.
She was retiring at the time after 40 years as a carer and said that she couldn't stand to lose me, which kinda works out great because I love her and I couldn't stand to lose her either.

Man In Red Needed Help With Son's Math Homework And Got It From A Stranger On The Subway
So today on my way from work the guy in the red sat down opened up his folder and started reading. A few stops later the guy next to him sat down and asked him what he's studying: "You look a little confused maybe I can help?". He says his son failed a math test: "They're learning fractions so I'm just teaching myself this over again so I can help him I'm 42 & don't know any of this so I'm re teaching myself." The guy in the black informed him he use to be a math teacher so he asked the guy to quiz him and everything he got wrong or was confused about he broke it down and corrected him. By the end of my train ride the guy in the red had a better understanding. He can bring home a new method and teach his child. I really love seeing things like this especially in New York.

Sometimes all it takes is a little nudge to motivate someone to start turning their s**t around. Let people know they still matter.

So many of America's homeless are U.S. veterans, people with job instability or persons with undertreated mental illness. Kindness goes such a long way.
It makes me so happy to see young men showing kindness to an elder, especially an elder in need.
you guys are amazing ! Thank to people like you, I dont lose hope in humanity :)
Top example of social orientated activity. Take the human being serious and show it to him/her.
that is actually a very beautiful thing these boys did. very beautiful, brought tears to my eyes because there are good people out there
Generous and kind young men! They gave this man such loving gifts, most importantly his dignity.
You guys are truly amazing and kind, thank you and god bless you all😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
That was so kind of them. It’s good to know that there are people who care .
😇 God bless you young men for your angelic service and God bless this elder man with a home and plenty to eat, more than enough blessing for all of these men
You young men are princes in a world of hate. You have my utmost respect for what you did for this man.
We can take statues down, we can change this laws, we can protest peacefully, but until we have love in our hearts for our brothers and sisters no matter what they look like a where they come from we can not change. “Love your neighbor as yourself”
Great group...compassion and caring are alive and well!!! Thank you so much gentlemen...
Wow...Very thoughtful. Youths thinking.....”it’s not just about ME!”
What a blessing for this man from these young men! God bless them ALL.
I love the young men who cared enough to do this. You are special guys and I wish we had a lot more of you in the world.
This is the kind of media our country needs. Showing that compassion and kindness can be more rewarding than taking.
This is so beautiful. The sad part is that we in America of all places still have homeless living on the streets. This should NEVER be.
What fantastic young men and the parents who raised them this way!!! God bless you all...
You boys will one day be rewarded for your kindness and generosity,i thank you for being so kind.
So great! This is why I love people and America. Sure there are stories like this all over the world but I live in America and I am proud of her people. . . Mostly.
Because I have been given much, I too must give. Because of thy great bounty Lord, each day I live. I shall divide my gifts from thee with every brother that I see who has the need of help from me. Because I have been sheltered, fed by thy great care, I cannot see another's lack & I not share. My glowing fire, my loaf of bread, my roof's safe shelter overhead, that he too may be comforted. Because I have been blessed by thy great love dear Lord, I'll share thy love again according to thy word. I shall give love to those in need. I'll show that love by word & deed. Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed 🙂🥰
I honestly do not like these posts.. if you're doing good do it. Posting it on social media makes it all about YOU. Not the people you're helping.
Their captions and the emojis they used are the best! I love that they're so excited to help this gentleman.
This really touches my heart. These young men have their heads and hearts in the right places. No kidding. They are going places!!!
It is wonderful to see these young men help this man. I'm sure they will continue to help him and others in the future. Once you have done something like this, it gives you such a wonderful feeling, that you want to keep doing it. Yes, doing good things can be addictive. I would much rather people be addicted to being kind than to be addicted to harming themselves or others. Keep up the good work boys. Y'all have become fine young men, and I'm sure your parents are proud of you. But, be mindful, not everything belongs on social media. Some people like their privacy, especially people in need, people hiding from those who have harmed them, or the ones who have a lot of pride, please be respectful of that. It would be wonderful if y'all could start a non-profit organization in your area to help those in need. There are so many people in need nowadays. The homeless, single-parent families, children who don't have enough to eat, or clothes to wear, or even school supplies.
wow you guys thank you this is a wow factor should be tv shows about this sort of thing instead of stupid house wives of wherever, you lot are heros and I hope you also were blessed
How bout just doing something nie for somebody & not feeling the need to tell everybody how cool you are for doing it?
Does it matter? Does it take something away from the man they helped if they tell people about it, potentially inspiring others to do the same?

Here in southern Ohio folks wear the Confederate flag in order to DECLARE that they are racist (and frequently profess other bigotries as well). They will say it's to show pride in their Southern heritage, then spew racist viewpoints, then reassert that said racism is part of their Southern heritage. The Confederate flag might have had non-racist usage in some instances in the past, but if you're seeing it north of the Mason-Dixon Line today, it's frequently used as a declaration of hatred.

Treat people as individuals and judge them by their own character, not by a group identity. Don't blame other groups for your own poor life choices.
This happens all across the world, not only in America :) Good hearts are everywhere and they resotre faith in humanity.

This made my day and restored my faith in the human nature!! I hope you have a wonderful life, you who posted this and you the one reading this too!
Solid proof that people CAN make a change! As long as we work together and help each other.
They don't forget. They don't care. media wants ratings/views. they want the most dramatic spectacular stuff. And that doesn't always equal things that are most important or have the most impact.
Maybe take the picture of Davonte Hart hugging the cop down? There’s good reason to believe that he was coerced into hugging the officer. His mom drove him off a cliff in California earlier this year. I’m just not sure that that picture is the best way to honor him.
Fact is, there are far more of these stories than the hateful ones. Unfortunately these stories of kindness don't generate enough ratings so hate is what the news gives us.
Thank you so much for posting these pictures and whoever is cutting up onions, enough already.
These make my heart smile. With all the vitriol and hate in the world, these are rare moments caught forever. In bad times, always look for the helpers.
We are NOT who we voted for. We are human beings with souls, regardless of the our gender, the color of our skin, our language, or our religion. If we can remember that, we will persevere, if not, we are lost.
What I like most is that race is hardly mentioned here. We are all just people, and it's great to see that people are people (Thanks Depeche Mode) without making any deal about race. Bravo.
This made my day :) Unfortunately, I'm also crying hysterically, I really didn't expect this at all, but I'm grateful. These acts of kindness are really what give meaning, what life should be about...
While I appreciate the simple beauty of all of this, let's not forget that we need to look to local, state, national and international policy, regulates, laws etc. that protect the rights of the individual and empower the poorest among us, In other words act locally, think globally.
We need more like this. People are people. Kindness counts in the grand scheme of things.
Awesome! They are all so inspiring I can’t chose a favorite. Thank you for sharing them. I feel encouraged about our country.
Exceptional post, there must be acts of kindness, we are unable to see, I am certain of it, unfortunately, of late the turmoil of racism, has us forgetting,there are good people, of all colors, kindness is all around us, it may not be visible, but just around the corner !!!
Mimi E. Everyone should scroll through these photos. It makes me feel so good.
These photos are beautiful! I feel so hopeful and much more happy and grateful. Thank you all!
I absolutely loved these! They just made my day! Thank you for putting a smile on my face!
People do judge me by my color. But, I’d rather smile and be happy then miserable and spread the anger. Keep smiling! It makes for a nicer day.
Great beautiful sample of real good every day people. Thanks
I've been wiping tears since like the 3rd picture. These pictures just prove that it's not over just yet, there's more work to be done but it begins with us. Hopefully it will turn around sooner than later.
These are wonderful heart wrenching stories. An example to all of how it could be if there was more humanity, less hatred and greed, and better understanding of each others needs. We are all on this planet together and not just in this pandemic together, and need to work together if we are to ultimately survive the unknowns ahead. We need each other. We must all get on and respect every person regardless of their nationality , colour or creed. We evolved from apes, developed intelligence and and must use it wisely and will only survive as a species if we act now to make our planet a better. For those with most of our financial resources I would say, spend it on making this world great instead of pretending we can live on other planets. This notion is idiotic to say the least. If there was the possibility of trips to those places only the ultra rich could avail.
Great!!!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful and inspiring compilation! 🐛💜🦋
I'm loving Bored Panda. We've been isolating at home for 3 months now, and we need to see people doing sweet things.

I've been looking at videos of puppies to deal with anxiety of the past 2 weeks but this is even better. Just regular people being kind.

Not faith in the USA (or America , as you refer to it) , but faith in all the people from the American Continent and everywhere in the wold. 😁
Not faith in USA, but faith in people, be it from the USA or from all the American Continent, and from everywhere in the world.

I have high levels of anxiety, special agoraphobia and have been going through a depression cycle. I have no words, just not enough words to express my gratitude for the boredpanda .com team and the posts herein. It doesnt change instantly my heart, the mental confusion and emotional rollercoster dont just disappear, but for someone like my that oscilattes between panick attacks, uncontrolable emotional pain and occasional mental mess (to the point of not risking leaving the house for fear of forgetting to look sideways for cars or cooking for fear of forgetting the stove is on- trust me the struggle is real), your posts make me cry. This post made me cry- of joy; i havent been capable of crying even for sadness in a long while. The catharsis, the release that comes with crying is underestimated. THANK YOU with all my heart for bringing a bit of sunshine to my day. God bless you for this.
It's a shame our biased media who would rather report things that divide us refuse to report on stories like these!
Beautiful pictures. Made my eyes leak seeing the kindness of strangers.
DON'T make me CRY! I mean it! Why are so many Americans so damned nice and sweet and loving and....oh dear.....pass me a tissue...
I'm all choked up and teary eyed now. Why can't everyone be like this??
More of this please!! We're so divided right now, we need more reminders that it doesn't have to (and should not) be that way.
These have actually made me cry. In the soul crushing 24hr news cycle of incessant tRump I needed to be reminded that there are normal people out there doing decent things for other people everyday. Thanks BP.
Nothing unique for North- or South America, or Asia, Europe, Australia or Africa. It's called being human, what a tragedy if it was something unique!
only 5 pages...should have been more... the best way to understand sanity and love still exist
You people are very good at turning on the water works and making my mascara run.
These were all just so sweet, and very sad in a way. Wish we could see more of this in the news and less of the crazy and hateful. I wonder how much of it would stop if there was no notice taken of it? Although exposing the crazy and hateful for what it is can make a difference at times, too.
Um, i know that i'll be killed, but... has anybody noticed that all of this are just featured black and white people? I believe that solidarity should be global. Does black people support Asians and Mexicans too, or they only go for the whites? Sorry, but it feels a bit hypocritical. Black and white are not the only ethnicity that exist.
After this week of children being torn from parents arms and a walking cheeto claiming humanitarian victory by putting the entire family of asylum speakers in jail indefinitely I NEEDED THIS. WE ARE BETTER THAN OUR LEADERSHIP. I needed this post more than I can explain
How humanity is supposed to be......wonderful examples that we need to see more often to inspire those who feel humanity is hopeless.
Trump needs to go so we can get back to THIS America and make it even better!
i don't know how many times I've seen these. doesn't matter, I will take time out everytime. I am smiling like an idiot!!
These were wholesome, I'm so glad people like all of these exist and make the world a better place. Let's keep celebrating kindness :) a giant 'thank you' to all heroes out there!
Makes you easily forget, that DT is the current president. "You are no longer required."
Missing: the pictures of young children being ripped from their mother's arms. I'm sorry, but while these pictures are heartwarming, and remind us that there are decent people all over the world, this is not America.
There is enough oversaturation of bad news in the media to become a nihilist, so I understand your view point, and do believe it's justified to feel betrayed by the current political onslaught. However, the pictures, and what you stand for, "are also America". It is unhealthy for a critical mind to be exclusively be fed negative news about a country you live in 24/7.
