A collection of 15 occasions when people took the time to look out for the needs of strangers.

No strangers, only friends we haven’t met yet

A random act of kindness is a nonpremeditated, inconsistent action designed to offer kindness towards the outside world. Facebook user Alicia Johnson collated and shared a selection of 15 such acts of compassion. This kind of behaviour towards each other benefits everyone. In these difficult times of division, polarisation and anxiety, it’s so important to notice that there is so much kindness out there and it deserves more attention. Just like negativity, positivy is also contagious, so please feel free to share this post and the positivity and humanity it represents.
