15+ Pics That Hold More Emotion Than Your Favorite Romance Novel

We may all know this feeling when we watch a movie, read a book, or even play a computer game and find ourselves moved to tears. Scientists explain that what makes us care so much about a character is a sense of “agency.” In the process of evolution, we learned to project our own thoughts and feelings onto other people and things.

Here at Bright Side, we strongly believe that life is sometimes even more intricate and touching than any movie. We’d love for you to see 16 photos that prove this. Dive into the world of real emotion together with us.
