19 Pics Proving Humans Aren't Always The Worst

The world has no shortage of "Karens."

There's this one who got mad at her neighbor's "Tigger" flag, then this one who threatened to have an employee fired. Finally, this Karen who left a business an unfair review.

With stories like this, it's easy to lose sight of the good in the world. But good people do exist!

Don't believe us? Come peruse these 19 pics that prove humans aren't always the worst!

This sweet friendship.

D'aww!! Forget that whole "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." This is what people should do! Elevate each other.

You never know what can come out of it. Maybe a friendship, like these two guys got!

This kind homeowner.

"I AM BLOWN AWAY. The generosity of this person is on another level. Came across on my delivery route! If you see this, we love you!!" this delivery driver wrote. A gesture like this would make anyone's day!

The wedding dress.

We're all for inclusivity, so seeing this bridal shop display a mannequin in a wheelchair is everything! It gives hope to those who didn't think they'd be able to have a dream wedding anymore.

This generous tipper.

Wow, some waitresses are lucky if they get a five-dollar tip, let alone $1,000! With many restaurants closed around the world during the pandemic, this act of kindness will certainly help.

This dad who just tried his best.

This Twitter user wrote that her mom always made her birthday cakes before she passed. When her birthday rolled around again, her sweet dad tried his hardest to make a cake. Aww.

This adorable reunion.

See, social media is good for something! It helped make this adorable reunion happen. We can only imagine how much they had to catch up on after being apart for 40 years!

This free haircut.

With school right around the corner, kids might be thinking about a fresh cut.

Sadly, some are unable to afford such a luxury. So to fix that, 15 barbers gave free haircuts to kids at the sixth annual Kutz4Kids event last August in San Jose, California.

The professor.

Plenty of professors are willing to go the extra mile for their students. Like when a Georgia college student had to bring her baby to class because she couldn't find a babysitter.

Ramata Sissoko Cissé was the hero of the story.

This neighbourly act.

After accidentally leaving her car window open, this girl discovered her car like this. Her neighbors had covered it to protect it from the rain. Such kindness! Most neighbors don't go out of the way like this.

This watchful brother.

This brother truly went above and beyond.

While some heroes go out and fight crime, this older brother knows that protecting his little sister is most important. That mom and little sister must've felt so safe!

The surprise.

"Yall, my grandad hasn’t had any teeth for as long as I can remember," this Twitter user wrote. "For his 90th birthday, my grandma surprised him and took him to the dentist to get fake teeth. Now he can’t stop smiling because he said the last time he had a mouth full of teeth was 40 years ago."

The prom date.

This teenage boy melted the internet's heart by taking a girl with special needs to her prom. It was truly a night to remember. The girl, Izzie, was even crowned Duchess!

This game of tic tac toe.

Being stuck in the house all day can get pretty old pretty fast.

So when one girl wanted to play tic tac toe with a window washer, he happily obliged despite dangling in the air.

This adorable student.

Our hearts! While some kids are off playing and causing all sorts of trouble, this little one is being the best son ever.

We would donate to this little boy's cause in a heartbeat!

The crib.

Troy Littleton, Ph.D., a professor of biology at MIT, profoundly cares for his students.

Earlier this year, he went viral for buying a travel crib for his office. He bought it so that his graduate student can bring her nine-month-old little girl to work when necessary.

The lottery ticket.

This person left some random lottery tickets on the gas pump for the next lucky person to find! What a sweet way to make someone's day! Especially if they happen to find the winning ticket!

This generous restaurant.

While some restaurants are money-grubbing by rising food prices, some are giving back! This reminds of us Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen, which gives free food to those in need every day. We need more people like this!

This kidney donor.

Willie is the man! He deserves every ounce of praise as this dad in the pickup truck drives all around town, displaying his selfless act! Also, this goes to show that advertising on cars works!

This dad who relented.

"We can't keep it - my dad 10 months ago," this Redditor wrote.

This is pretty much every dad who said, "we're not keeping it" when their kids bring a new pet home. But how could you resist the cat's cuteness?
