Everyone happens to go through moments of great despair at some time, moments of great inner crisis that may have arisen from unexpected events, traumas, painful losses or loneliness, but which then always lead to very important personal growth. After all, sadness is an integral part of the life of all human beings, as well as happiness, joy and emotion, feelings capable of illuminating for a moment even the darkest moments of our days. .

Here are some of the photos found online that best capture the essence of the complexity of life: moments so moving and full of emotion that they can not help but restore our faith in humanity itself!
