13 photos with disarming tenderness that can brighten even the dullest day
Have you ever received an act of unexpected kindness and kept thinking about it the whole day?
Such as, a person who lets you move up the line in front of them, or who gives you back something of yours that fell out of your bag, or even a simple smile at the right time.
Being polite and kind is the noblest thing that a person can give to another person. In fact, it is only in this way, giving without demanding anything in return, that a genuine mutual respect is established.
Before telling us about an act of kindness you received (or why not, given!), take a few minutes to read these stories that will warm your heart and, perhaps, will make you reflect more about the value of simple courtesy.
