20+ Pity Pics That Left Us Full of Compassion

Curiosities

Scientists suggest that when we feel compassion, our heart rate slows down. Our body then starts producing the “bonding hormone” which is responsible for caregiving, and this is why a mother rushes to comfort her crying baby rather than starts panicking and looking around for what has made the baby feel upset.

Here at Bright Side, we believe that mutual help and compassion will save the planet, and today we’ve collected 21 photos of tiny failures that made people feel sorry and smile at the same time. We’d love for you to dive into this pool of emotions together with us.
