16 People Who’s Kindness Made This World a Little Better

They say that real heroes don’t wear capes, but live among us and look quite ordinary. They just do good deeds and don’t expect anything in return.

nd this hero can be anyone: a neighbor, a boss, a cashier in a shop, or even you. A few years ago, my husband wakes me up early in the morning and asks me where my passport is.

I say, “In my bag!” And he snidely says, “Where’s your bag?” It turns out that yesterday I wandered around a construction hypermarket and left it there while.

I was looking at something. The bag was found, they took out my passport, started to check on the database, whether I have a loyalty card of their shop.

There was no card. They started to look if my husband had a card (they found his name in the passport). In general, the kind people didn’t just leave it,

But found me, and I was totally unaware and was sleeping peacefully. I ran to the shop, they gave me the bag, and there were a lot of things I needed — documents, money..

. The security guard, a good man with a sense of humor, laughed, saying that things happen. He didn’t take the money I offered to him.

There are a lot of good people out there, they just don’t flaunt their kindness. © Vorobyova Larisa / Dzen I was giving away clothes for a girl of 2–3 years old. A woman texted me, saying she has a difficult situation,

Her daughter has nothing to wear, could I send her these clothes by post? I first wanted to tell her to go take a hike, but then I thought, “Who knows what really happened there?”

So I sent them all at my own expense. A year later, I got a package. There were nuts, dried fish, homemade marmalade and other goodies. It was sent by that same woman.

It turns out that her black streak was over, her husband got a good job, and she decided to thank everyone who helped them in a difficult moment. It was very unexpected and nice. 35 years ago,

I was trying on dresses in a wedding atelier and left a few gold rings on the shelf in the fitting room. I went out with a friend, we were walking, and suddenly it was like an electric shock:

My fingers were bare! And it was already late, the atelier had already closed. The next day, I rushed there after work, and the employee silently opened the drawer of her desk and gave me my riches back.

My joy and gratitude were limitless! I still remember how this woman looked. © Marina K. / Dzen My boyfriend and I got on a bus. He started looking in his pockets for his wallet, but it wasn’t there!

It so happened that I hadn’t brought any money with me, either. So, we are sitting, there are a lot of people, we don’t know what to do. It’s not an option to return home, as we are late.

The girl sitting opposite us pulls out her wallet and says, “Guys, I understand you, I was in a similar situation, I’ll pay for you.” We were red with shame! We tried to say that we didn’t need to,

To which she didn’t pay attention and paid. There are still good people out there. © Overheard / Ideer 2 years ago, I found out that my father wasn’t my biological father.

This news came as a shock to me, as my dad and I are very close. I was also a little hurt that my younger sisters are his biological children. But I’m not. To calm me down, Dad invited me for a conversation,

“Alina, when I met your mother, she was already pregnant with you. Or rather, she found out about it after 3 of our dates. Your mom honestly told me everything.

She suggested I leave, because I was only 20 years old and the prospect of becoming a father scared me. Especially since your mom and I weren’t even in a relationship yet.

And then, as I was about to say goodbye forever, I saw your mom holding a picture. I asked what it was. And it was your first ‘picture.’ Or rather, an ultrasound scan.

I asked to see it, and she didn’t refuse. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were mine. And I didn’t leave. I wanted to stay so badly. And you’re my girl, my own daughter. And don’t you ever doubt that.

Otherwise, if I haven’t ma I tipped a waitress $50 for a $20 meal because her other table was treating her so badly that she was crying in the back.

© EMRmania / Reddit My older sister used to tell everyone as a kid that she would only marry a guy who had a full collection of hippos from Kinder Surprise.

It’s been about 20 years since then, and the childhood promise has, of course, lost its relevance. Recently, her childhood friend unexpectedly proposed to her, who had long been in love with her,

But didn’t dare to confess to her. He gave her a ring in a box that said, “I spent all my conscious life on it, even had to go abroad in search of some of them. Marry me!”

And there were all the hippos from that very collection in the box along with the ring. The sister fulfilled her promise. © Chamber 6 / VK My boss is strict, she never smiles.

Once I was walking to work and found a kitten at the bus stop. I couldn’t just leave it, so put the little one under the jacket and took it to work.

The boss saw the kitten, which I tried to hide in a box, and transformed literally in a second: a wide smile and so much tenderness in the eyes that I didn’t expect to see.
