In a world that doesn't seem to leave us any escape from negative news, indifference and the badness of the people, it seems that we have all lost faith not only in the next world but also in the future of this one. What will become of us, of our affections, of the people who have surrounded our life for better or for worse, how can we escape all this negativity? The solution lies in trying to put into practice every day, in our small ways and our opportunities, acts of kindness and unconditional solidarity towards others, towards people who are less fortunate than us. Only in this way will we be able to build a better future for us and for the new generations. If you don't believe us, check out these moving scenes!

This photograph has a very special meaning: Paul Scott, a junior high school boy, has been blind since birth but practices cross-country running with the help of his younger colleague Rebel Hays, who guides him on the running paths, with the use of a rope. Rebel trains every day so he can keep up with the older kids because he never wants to let his special friend Paul down!

This touching photograph was taken by a nurse at the retirement home where this old man was living; the granddaughter, unable to visit him indoors due to the restrictions for Covid-19, arrives at her grandfather's window, shows him the official engagement ring and they greet each other with a truly moving gesture, "hand in hand" but at a distance ... the thickness of a sheet of glass!

The author of this apparently everyday photograph says that his grandfather is almost like a second father to him: he goes to visit his grandson almost every day at work and always has lunch with him in the same place, solely in the company of his beloved grandson: one simple shot, but which perfectly represents what it means to enjoy the smallest things in life.

Ultimately, it is the thought that matters.
