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!

👏🏻👏🏾 God wasn’t finished with this young man and the officer turned out to be his Angel of salvation ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Nice! See? A cop who sees the humanity in someone who doesn’t look like him.
So glad the officer had compassion and patience to listen to this man. It saved his life which was definitely worth living.
Awesome, there is love , kindness and compassion in this world. I’m so glad you were saved and lived to present the award to the officer who was there to save you that day. God bless you both 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Incredible story! So grateful for our police officers! I pray our Lord continues to bless them abundantly! Thank you my precious Lord! ❤️🙏✝️
You men ROCK. We need more heroes just like you. It's not that we fall as all do at times, but how we rise. You soar above & beyond ;-D
there are wonderful and caring policemen and women out there every single day.....
Very nice story .... with a great ending. So glad this young man did not make that jump.
Kevin Briggs, the officer pictured here is a true hero. He helped me during one of the darkest times of my life, when my long term partner killed himself. Only Kevin could help me heal. Bless you Kevin.
Amazing. God bless them both. 1 wanting to die and the other wanting him to live. What a touching moment in both their lives at that award ceremony.
When the world seems the darkest and you can't go on...hold on. Your life can change in the twinkling of an eye! God loves you no matter what! So many give up right before the dawn. Don't ever give up!
Everyone should see this positive image of what one person—in this case a police officer—can do!👍❤️
OK, THIS STORY HAS MADE ME THINK ABOUT IT FOR QUITE AWHILE BEFORE COMMENTING BECAUSE, SEE IDK WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT I'M SO HAPPY FOR THIS MAN THAT NOW HAS HIS OWN FAMILY TO PROTECT. I'M GLAD THIS POLICEMAN KNEW THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAVE HIM AND I HOPE THIS MAN HAS OVERCOME ALL THOSE DEPRESSING THOUGHTS BECAUSE IN MY OPINION I THINK THAT SUICIDE IS A THOUGHT WITHIN A PERSONS MIND BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT A PERSON IS STRUGGLING TO DEAL WITH AND IDK IF THERES ANYTHING THAT ANYONE CAN SAY TO TAKE THOSE THOUGHTS AWAY BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT SHIELDED THOSE THOUGHTS BUT NOT TAKE THEM TOTALLY AWAY. MAYBE I'M WRONG AND I CERTAINLY DO HOPE SO BECAUSE I'D HATE TO HEAR LATER THAT A ONCE SAVED MAN DID END UP COMMITTING SUICIDE. MY HEART POURS OUT TO THESE TWO PEOPLE.
So glad the Officer was there at the right time to save this young man. And it's terrific that the young man turned his life around. Bless them both.
Well done. This is what humanity needs to see and understand and live by. God Bless both of you, you both succeeded.
Just a moment in time when God provides you just what you need to get through a crisis.
This is what we need from our police officers, to protect and serve. There are good and bad people out there. We just need our officers to know the difference.
What a blessing that police officer was to this young man. What a blessing he can now be to his precious children.
So moving, and beautiful side of humans! There are many...never forget that!
BEAUTIFUL! Sometimes life isn't a 'picnic' and we loose our way... God bless the wonderful cop that stepped up and God bless YOU for letting his words into your heart! You are both FABULOUS MEN!
See everyone, policemen have many jobs and are VERY important. Stop all this hype about getting rid of them. One bad apple doesn't mean you NEVER eat apples again.!!
People do care about and for one another. It just needs to be known how important we are to one another.
So happy that officer had the words to reach you and that you had the soul to hear him.
Imagine being solos you feel like death would be an improvement. Now add the pressure that this young man has to deal with as a black man in America. God bless him for saving himself. And bless the man who was there for him.
You just don't know what your act of kindness really felt to this young man who was ready to jump.
now he i a daddy so great and I beat he is a proud one at that , thanks officer for talking this man around so all that could happen
A few words of kindness is all that man on the bridge needed. Someone to listen to him who cared. And what a wonderful friendship came out of all of this. Plus the man has children who truly love him. A life worth living.
The life saving officer, must have said all the right things to make the difference, God bless you Sir. Too many people know that lost, and hopeless feeling, and everyone should be fortunate in having an angel like the officer to be saved !!!
I wish more people were as understanding about mental health. He really deserved that award!
Thank you for taking the time to save him. Just look at him now! A father!! ❤️❤️
Thank god SF got wise and is getting that net. The drop may be enough to get people to realize it's final.
There Is A Local Group That Cuts Lawns For The Elderly, Disabled, And Single Parent Mothers For Free. Here They Are With My Grandma
She Took Me In 15 Years Ago And No One Makes Me As Happy. We Had The Best Xmas. I Love My Grandma So Much
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.

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.

People need to see these especially today with all that is happening out there with the shootings. June 2020 There is still a lot of good people out there. Cannot lose our faith in humanity.

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.

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

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. The U.S. has flaws and good stuff.
