I found this link for a thread on Project Avalon, to warm the cockles of your hearts.

As per the title - 21 pictures to restore your faith in humanity...

projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?...ur-Faith-In-Humanity

(Sorry for those with not much bandwidth - I'm unsure how to copy the pictures individually, and don't have time to faff).

Thanks Gilly...heartwarming

Great Sign!

Flip flops are not shoes.

^ Innit!

Best thread of the year!

I think we could add to that list with some other examples.

^ That would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for that Gilly, that was brilliant. What made you think my faith in humanity needed to be restored, though?!

I'm just drafting my letter to Sainsbury's.

How about 20 more

Fantastic, Mikey!

I remember the little boy with cancer. He'd been really brave throughout his ordeal with chemo, but was nervous about returning to school with his bald head. When he got there, all his class-mates had shaved their heads so that he wouldn't feel awkward. How fantastic is that!

And another fresh round of tears thanks to Mikey...
I just wish everyone was like the people involved in these photos...the world would be so much better if people were.

I was feeling bad moment ago... Not any more. Thanks guys for this wonderful thread. <3

G'day Gilly.

Thank you for sharing this, I had a good cry.

I've got the time available to post the pics individually (taken from the source on the thread you linked ... www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/pictures-th...ur-faith-in-humanity)

1. This picture of Chicago Christians who showed up at a gay pride parade to apologize for homophobia in the Church.

... and the reaction from the parade.

6. The moment in which this Ohio athlete stopped to help an injured competitor across the finish line during a track meet.
17-year-old Meghan Vogel was in last place in the 3,200-meter run when she caught up to competitor Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of running past her to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath's arm around her shoulders, carried her 30 meters, and then pushed her over the finish line before crossing it.

7. This exchange between a 3-year-old girl and a shopping center.


8. This note that was handed to a waiter along with a $20 bill by an elderly lady in his restaurant.


9. This sign at an awesome Subway restaurant.

Sue Drummond was walking her beloved Shih Tzu, Bibi, on a pier in Melbourne, when a fierce gust of wind picked him up and hurled him into the rough waters of the bay. A passerby, Raden Soemawinata, who happened to be on the pier that day to scatter his grandmother's ashes, wasted no time in stripping down and diving into the bay to rescue the animal.


21. And this photograph of two best friends on a swing.
