17 Times People Saw Something That Made Them Feel the Whole Spectrum of Emotions

Taking the time to say thanks to those around us not only improves their day but can also make us happier, according to studies. When these personal moments are caught on camera we cannot help but tear up with happiness at peoples’ pure kindness and generosity. From small gestures like a compassionate hug to seeing your family after 2 years, the world is full of beautiful moments.

Because we at Bright Side value true expressions of love and generosity, we’re sharing these photos with you to remind you just how much good there is in the world.
