Emotion is an adaptive response that humans have to their surroundings. Sometimes, we come across events or people that are capable of moving us so much that our entire perception of the world starts to shift, changing our entire outlook.

Bright Side gathered a collection of photos that made us smile, cry, and think a little more deeply about the impact we have on those around us.

1. Married for 60 years. She has dementia and a stroke, but he is still there by her side. Always.

4. A homeless man in Silicon Valley was handing out copies of his resume. After the post went viral, he got job offers from companies like Apple, Google, and more.

I thought Mama's boys are for humans only. But when I saw my dog's puppy, I realized that there are Mama's boys among dogs, too.
