Have you ever been having a bad day and a small act of kindness from a stranger has lifted your mood right up? It could be something as small as a smile, but often when a stranger goes out of their way to help us, it restores our faith in humanity and reminds us that there are so many good people out there. These wholesome images show how small acts of kindness can be the difference between a good and a bad day; it never hurts to be kind!
We encounter hundreds of thousands of strangers throughout our life, but some impact us much more than others. Sometimes all it takes is one interaction with a stranger and it sticks in your mind forever. An AskReddit thread asked people to recall one stranger that they vividly remember and as usual, the people of the internet have given their best tales, which we've collated for you below.
As we know all too well, the world can be a dangerous place, particularly for a woman walking alone at night in metropolitan areas. Although staying vigilant is key in trying to avoid getting into dangerous situations, sometimes you may need to depend on the help of a kind stranger to keep you safe in certain circumstances. This is exactly the position one woman in NYC found herself in February, who when walking home alone, realized she was being followed by three men. Understanding the potential danger she was in, she approached a stranger and asked him to pretend he knew her, and accompany her home The stranger tweeted the whole encounter (below) which went viral and inspired many people to thank him, on behalf of women everywhere for helping this woman while she was in a vulnerable state. It doesn't take a lot to show some kindness and help someone in need, like this compassionate stranger shows.
The world is a scary place at the moment, but what is getting us through is the heartwarming acts of kindness that friends, family and strangers alike are doing for one another. An AskReddit thread asked people to share the "kindest thing a stranger has ever done for you, without asking for anything in return" and as usual, the internet responded in the best way possible. Here are some of the best answers we saw.
