Amazing father wish my parents had been like this after their divorce but they did not set a good example ( not really when they were married either)

I wish all parents who get divorced could be like this. Just able to do things and get along and not fight and argue all the time. While a marriage may not work out, being able to still be friends and raise their children together.
When we help others, we actually help ourselves. Showing kindness fills our lives with happiness, improves our well-being and can even lengthen the time we have on Earth. Many researchers have been looking into the “helper’s high” and the effects it has on our physical and emotional health.
In one study, Dr. Stephen G. Post, a researcher, opinion leader, and best-selling author, wrote that “evidence for the benefits of giving is now extremely powerful, and suggests that healthcare professionals might wish to recommend such activities to patients.”
For more than 20 years, he has been promoting the idea of “give and live better” and studying altruism, generosity and kindness. Acting in good conscience appears to be an important factor for us to lead meaningful and satisfying lives because when we engage in kind acts, we reduce our own stress. Altruistic emotions—the “helper’s high”—seem to gain dominance over the stress response, Post told WebMD.

“Studies of telomeres—the end-caps of our genes—show that long-term stress can shorten those end-caps, and shortened end-caps are linked with early death,” he explained.
“These studies indicate that we’re dealing with something that’s extremely powerful. Ultimately, the process of cultivating a positive emotional state through pro-social behaviors—being generous—may lengthen your life.”

Though similar ones existed, they were expensive and required refrigeration. Dasia's use beet juice which she noticed in a common lab experiment changes color in reaction to Ph. Infections cause such a change and she put two and two together. Her suture do not need refrigeration which is a HUGE plus for places in the world with limited access to it. And oh yea, they're cheap and easy to make.
The need to do good comes from a simple fact that we humans are a social species. Our ability to be altruistic derived from the bonds we create with others: since people benefit from social support they receive, it’s no surprise that evolution would provide us with the capacity to give social support.
“Humans have evolved to be caring and helpful to those around us, largely to ensure our survival,” Post said. “In Darwin’s Descent of Man, he mentions survival of the fittest only twice. He mentions benevolence 99 times.”

Bin-men here make a good wage but they still deserve respect of course, I always take a crate of beers out for them every Christmas, plus I leave my rubbish very tidy for them and they like that, they always place my recycling boxes down neat when they're done, the messy houses just get their boxes thrown in a random place.
When you see your friends and family assisting and helping out their loved ones or sometimes even complete strangers, you can’t help but feel the urge to do good too. According to research, simply watching someone else do the honorable thing inspires us as well.
There’s a study showing that when we witness kindness, we experience an uplifting feeling and become encouraged to act more altruistic ourselves. Psychological scientists Simone Schnall, Jean Roper and Daniel M.T. Fessler performed two experiments trying to find out whether feelings of elevation, evoked by observing another person perform a good deed, motivate us to help others.

This isn't true (see other comments with links), plus think just for one second - how HORRIBLY are the adults in the situation managing this, when at no point during the explanation to the boy they didn't reassure him in any way? Any adult explaining blood donation to a small child would say something like "And we take a little blood, and you'll hardly feel it, and your body will make more in a few days". There's no way they just say "It's a matter of life and death" and leave it there. Stories like this annoy me. There are so many TRUE great stories; stop making up glurge.

In the first experiment, 59 participants were recruited and asked to watch two short videos. One group looked at a clip from The Oprah Winfrey Show while the other watched a neutral nature documentary. After the viewing, they received a receipt asking if they would be willing to take part in an additional, unpaid, study.
The results showed that people who experienced “elevation were more likely to volunteer for a subsequent unpaid study than were participants in a neutral state.”

I have colleague who very strictly keeps with the fast,and it's really difficult. At work they made quiet corner for him with sofa, where he can lay when he's tired through the day when he can't eat. Usually just lays for 10 mins and goes back. So I can imagine that these beautiful acts meant very much and that's awesome that people like that exist.

You should be proud of that young man. We all need hugs in good times and bad.
36 students participated in the second experiment where they not only looked at a short clip but were also asked to do a 30-minute task. However, the experimenter “couldn’t” open the needed file and told the students that they were free to leave. When people got up, she asked whether they would be willing to complete another, unrelated task.
She “noted that the questionnaire was, unfortunately, rather boring, emphasizing that the participant was under no obligation” and could stop whenever they wanted, but that completing any number of the items would greatly assist the experimenter. People in the elevation condition spent roughly twice as much time on the questionnaire as participants in the other groups.

My sons last year in High School, the Coach of the football team had "try outs" for the water boy position and my son was selected to fill the position. He was picked on and teased most of the time in school, so when he got to be part of the team, the rest of the players looked out for him and the bullies understood he was off limits. He enjoyed being a part of something like that and I appreciated those young men giving him an example of what it takes to be a decent person.

High School is weird. I went to one High School and got into a lot of fights and moved to another and got a lot of friends. My second High School was really big and had about 4000 students. I think the bigger the school the less the importance of cliques.

I think that might be somewhat the case. One of my newer friends I met this year just moved to my school last year, and he said that at his old school (which was smaller) they had a lot more violence and fights all the time. At this school, it’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows but he’s in a vocal group with me and we have definitely made sure he knows he is accepted and safe with us in this school.

This is unbelievably awesome. I've a boy with autism who spends a certain amount of hours a week in a mainstream class. His autism only affects his behaviour. I was so moved when one day at pick up a load of mainstream kids were saying bye to him and to have a nice day and some stopped to chat with him. Kids can be so cruel at times but seeing this was wonderful.
Both experiments provided convincing evidence that elevation, awakened by learning of another person’s good deeds, leads to selfless behavior. A kind gesture, no matter how small, creates something positive in this world. Looking at wholesome stories people share not only gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling inside but inspires us to be better as well.

Stuck in a NICU for three weeks, rotating out with the mother and father of a beautiful premature girl with Downs. Brought to tears by the nurse telling me the other 100 babies were rarely visited by families (maybe a drop in once a day or week), and she was impressed we were always there. I mean who just trusts strangers with a baby for a month or two? We had to ask that two separate nurses to not attend us because they lied or were mean to us.

It's an old Buddhist thing too. How the Dalai Lama is chosen..they usually lay out a blanket with objects on it and wait to see what is chosen. Amongst the items is usually a beloved item of the previous Dalai Lama. If the person chooses that item, then they may become the next Dalai Lama.
Ancuta Valentina Simion 3 years ago (edited)
Buddhist? Well, I'll take your word for it. But this habit has also been in my country (Romania) for more than a century. When babies turn 1 year old, their godparents visit them to cut a tuft of their hair and they place on a tray several objects out of which the child chooses three. Our parents told us that my brother (who recently retired from the army, took a toy gun, my sister (a real jack-of-all-trades - or should I change it into jane-of-all-trades?) ran with the tray and I got the book and the pen, nothing else interested me - and I am a teacher.

Except we can get it to under $10 a dose if we change one single paragraph in US Patten Law, on medications that keep it this high in the US. This doesnt solve the problem, only the symptom. We can lower drug costs in the US across the board if we just literally changed one paragraph in one section of US Law.

Not sure it matters if it's a paragraph, a single word, a comma, or pages of US Patent law. Still needs to go through the same process and nothing like that is ready, unlike the BBB. I know you consider it problematic and anyone who endorses it is a "rube," but it would in fact help a ton of diabetics afford their life-saving medication and I for one am willing to put up with whatever is in there you say enables corruption, as the corruption is clearly already happening and these people need help now. But I've never been one to say don't help the people who need it because somewhere else someone undeserving is going to get something out of it. I also strongly disagree that the BBB is "literally the problem." Maybe it's a problem and maybe it isn't (I haven't read the text of the act), but with respect to this issue, it is quite literally a solution.

I had a miscarriage just before my husband died. Years later I'm in a relationship and finally had a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful boy. He was a month early but he made it and he's beautiful and so big now, not like the teeny boy he was. I've never been religious but I can't help but to feel like one or both of them helped me get to where I am now.

I left my childhood cat at my father's place when I went to uni and hadn't seen them in over half a year. Not a week after I visited them, he (the cat, not my father) crossed the rainbow bridge. I'm pretty sure he fought to stay alive to see me one last time. Almost a decade later, I'm still tearing up when I think about it. See you on the other side, Charlie!

this could be very true. my long time vet has been with me through having to make that inevitable decision. the last time i got ready to take in lucy i was going through some serious health issues and she perked up and seemed to be okay. once i started to feel better she started to decline. when i took her in to let her go my vet was glad to see me better and then told me that it isn't unusual for pets to hang on for their owners and i had to tell her it was okay to go. i got down on the floor with her, thanked her for sharing her life with me, and she curled up in my arms. by the time the vet returned with the 'juice' she had slipped into a coma and left on her own accord. when she walked into the vet's office she looked/acted fine. but, after telling her it was okay she seemed to just melt.

When I was 16 I worked at a movie theater that offered a discount card to people 55+. One afternoon, a man comes up to the counter and tells me it's his 55th birthday, and he wants to sign up for the discount card. Now, when you're 16 your image of a 55 yr old is grey-haired, stooped, using a cane. So I looked at this attractive, fit, energetic man and said, "um... I'll need to see your I.D." His face lights up, and he calls over to a woman, "Babe, she carded me! Best birthday ever!" :)

Back around 1966, my grandmother sent me and my 3 siblings outside to find a four leaf clover for her (probably just to get us out of her hair for a few minutes). I laid down in a patch of clover and the FIRST one I saw had 4 leaves. I brought it in the house and asked her what she wanted us to do next. She stared at that 4 leaf clover in disbelief. When she passed in 1994, that 4 leaf clover was in her wallet. I love you and miss you so much, my dear Mammie.

Not heartwarming, but funny ... at least for me. I once brought my son his gym clothes to school, because he'd left them at home (he was around 14 or 15). He was standing in front of the gym with some of his classmates, when I arrived. After he took his gym bag, he thanked me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. One of his "friends" made fun of it. My son just said: You have a problem? Although ... I wouldn't want to kiss someone like YOUR mother either.

As you get older and learn certain truths, you get indoctrinated and become involved in the conspiracy of Christmas and feel the excitement of invoking the Christmas magic as you are trained for the next stage... The creator of Christmas magic where you have your own kids, and you get to enjoy the excitement on your kids faces over Christmas and then there is the final stage. The grand chronicler of Christmas magic where you pass onto your grandkids the mysteries of Christmas and enjoy the awe in their eyes, setting the stage for the parents and older kids to make the magic grow

I would not be surprised if one day, we can buy a bottle of little pink pills promising to restore our waning ability to love. The serotonin or dopamine or whatever that needs tweaking, that has been associated with the physical effects falling in love produces, is no available all over the internet. They come with an assortment of chocolates. The chaser in this case. The baby batches that arrive daily, are all basically a blank slate. An unlimited capacity on their hard drive hold the secret to life. A good cray, a good meal, a good bowel movement and a good sleep. Love is the one they cultivate or let die. The symbiosis of cultivating that love is the circle of life that can get so screwed up along the way.

It's very good that he apologized - even as someone with anger issues and other mental health issues, I don't believe that mental health problems are automatically a free pass to treat someone horribly. While mental health problems can be an explanation for behavior, they shouldn't be treated as an excuse, and it's important to make up for your behavior when you know you've upset someone (even if it was beyond your control).

Our daughter had her first tooth fall out one morning and I told her if she put it under her pillow when she goes to bed, the tooth fairy will take it and leave her some money. Excitedly, she took it to school to show her friends and tell them about the tooth fairy coming. She lost her tooth at school and came home sobbing and worried that the tooth fairy would be sad and not have a tooth to swap money for. That night, as she slept I put an envelope under her pillow saying "Don't cry. We tooth fairies are very good at finding lost teeth. We found your tooth by the wooden elephant's trunk at school. Please accept our gift and buy yourself an extra special treat" I did it in fancy writing and I put in £5. She was so excited and happy! She bought a new tooth brush and bubblegum flavour toothpaste, so the tooth fairy would get awesome teeth as the baby teeth fell out, She is nearly 18 now and still has that letter somewhere. She obviously knows it was me but treasures it.

It should be an even bigger offence to argue with a 9 year old, who is just trying his best

or during a tournement. a player pass the ball to his goaltender and he pick it up with his hand. rules on the field is if a player pass the ball to his goalie he can't pick it up and it's considered as a fault and it's a penalty shot. the 17 years old ref call it. the coach on the other side (and the parents) lost it!!! it took 15min before the game could start again. the kid had a spine and kept his decision. the tournement manager and ref manage has to come on the field!

For those of you who may not be aware, I don't think cannabis confers ANY sporting advantages!!!!
Joe Reaves 3 years ago
Pretty sure in most sports it would be a DISadvantage. It should only be a banned drugs in those sports where it would confer an advantage (like competitive shooting maybe)

Sadly not always how it works. My place is open holidays. Weekends. 365 days a year. If its too busy you dont get a break unless you are under 18. Its rough

I still can't get my head around the fact that in the USA it's considered bad manners or borderline immoral to take days off and even having the gall to enjoy them. But what's most confusing to me is that employers have every right to fire people for taking days off.

Worked at a place which literally had to remind us we needed to take longer lunch breaks than we did, take our holidays before year end and stop working weekends, we each loved our jobs so much, it was a fantastic place to work in. The boss was so happy with our dedication he paid us for extra hours and holidays we didn't take, fond memories ❤️

Kids observe, immitate and repeat stuff you never dream they would. For example when I'm really tired, feet hurt, i wiggle my toes and bend my feet in trying to make them more 'not sure of the word' my give year old son will go over come and pull at my toes, my feet are big for his hand so. He saw my dad do this to my mum when she was tired ❤️

Grandpas do be like that. Mine always supported my musical endeavors with trumpet playing and singing and I once had to record a chair test and send it in and he set up a whole professional camera and microphone set up in his basement for me to record, and sat back the whole time whispering to my mom saying stuff like “she’s real good”. He’d joke about me becoming famous and he was truly my #1 fan. I’m really gonna miss him.

OK, so your idea of 'helping' is to not only criticise an existing program that actually helps people, but also the person spreading the news about it, because it doesn't fit into your world-view of how things should be - have I got that right? Oh, and your first sentence sucks.

Those were my favorite days at school. Books, books and more books that I could choose from and take home with me forever. I still have a number of them.

I worked for them many years ago. We had an agreement with the teachers to cover some books for the less fortunate. Scholastic REALLY does want books in the kids hands. I can not tell you about all of the times we helped schools who had all the money stolen, or all of the books stolen or trashed.

Can we combine SBF with Friends of Library used book sales to maximize the effect?
Carol Emory 3 years ago
I've always told my son that, no matter how broke we are, I will always buy him books because they are teaching tools...even fictional novels (a lot of research goes into those books sometimes.) Once the books were read, we'd donate them to the local school or library for other kids to read. Pass on knowledge...donate your books.

This is such a kind thing, growing up in poverty things like this really rubbed salt in the wounds, I’d take the fliers home and read the book blurbs obsessively. Libraries rock but it’s really not the same.
J. Normal 3 years ago
The look in a kids face that now actually OWNS a book they want is priceless. Many of these kids no longer have libraries that are open to them. Parents who wont do the library because " I can not afford it if you lose that book." I personally attended a book give away for kids that are extremely underprivileged. Most of them had no access to libraries and that was BEFORE most of them have been closed due to lack of funding. You do generously donate to your inner cities library , right?
