there are still good people in this world

[toexist]

Im sure everyone here can find many reasons to be bitter, upset, resentful about a great many things going on in our world at any given time. Even people close to us can and will disappoint us. We will even often disappoint ourselves. Every now and then we witness an act of kindness that reminds us that there are still good people in this world.

This thread will be focused on those positive acts any of us recognize. Feel free to share if u ever run across anything.

That was a totally unselfish act of kindness. . . to put someone else's need before his own even though he was in bad need himself. It is a good remainder that there are still some good guys out there.

I saw the first video a while ago and it kind of hits you, at least it did me. Homelessness in America never sits well with me and the correctional system is not an excuse for mental health treatment. A lot of homeless people suffer from some type of mental health problem. During the 80's to cut the budget mental health treatment was cut.

Second video I never saw it but the picture kind of looks familiar. Featured cop used his head and is good with communication skills. Title was a little misleading about bad cops. Some officers (street cop or correctional) just don't have very good communication skills/de-esculation skills and frankly should be retrained or fired if they cant learn but it doesn't really mean they are bad cops they just need more help becoming better trained.

I believe the from "badcops" in title is supposed to be sarcastic because of the recent anti law enforcement focus in media. There are no bad cops depicted in this video.

Good thread. As you said there is plenty of negative in the world, but focusing on the good now and then is needed. It's unhealthy to always worry and be negative. I'm still in awe of the beauty around us in nature, but people are capable of beautiful acts as well.

I have to admit that brought tears to me.

its easy to be a good person in the good times, watch what happens after things collapse.

we all know,that we play by different rules then,but right now we have other rules to play with.

I'll try to be nice,I know it sometimes backfire and I'll burn my fingers,if/when it comes nessecary I'll be the "bitch",but I won't do that now.
