19 People With Hearts the Size of the Universe

Charles Darwin considered kindness our most valuable instinct for survival. Being able to connect with others and make a difference is, for many of us, a powerful instinct. And, as many of us are lucky enough to know, soft and kind-hearted people have beautiful hearts and an amazing presence.

We at Bright Side love the tenderness, and we know the strength of kindness. So today, we’ve chosen some special moments to connect and share some positive energy.
