Life can be brutal and unkind if you have nothing, or if you have everything and you don’t realize it. (Like many of us.)

So I thought I’d share a few stories that should reward your faith in humanity, because yes, I do have faith in humanity (not all the time, but most of the time), and I hope you do too.

Here’s example one of extraordinary kindness.

Here’s example two.

Here’s a story about living by your principles of forgiveness. I will never be as strong as these people.

And see if you can get through this one, and the outpouring of support for this man dying a painful death at age 21, without crying.

And, yes, here’s a story about someone suspected of spraying swastikas on people’s cars here in Burbank. What a nice present to give, no matter what time of the year. But most of us aren’t like that, and he’s only 18 — so he’s got plenty of time to stop it and join the rest of us.

“We’re here to get each other through this thing, whatever it is.” Mark Vonnegut
