For some, it’s beyond
explanation. They can’t discern a reason or motive and aren’t about to
try. For others, it’s as simple as insanity, with the common catchphrase
insinuating that everyone’s gone crazy. Some blame politics. Others
point to philosophical differences…but one thing’s for certain: 2016 has
been on heck of a year. Between elections and public embarrassment,
from the deaths of dozens of famous faces to the daily loss of life due
to war, terrorism, and crime, it appears that everything is
ca-ca-kook-koo and society has gone catawampus. There’s no hope…or at
least, there doesn’t seem to be.
But after you look over the 15 stories that were big here in 2016,
you realize that, sometimes, it’s the viral that can bring about some
relief. In almost each case, a selfless act has lead to a real
revolution. It may not be on a national or even global scale, but a
single act of kindness is always better than one of harm. In fact, these
stories are so rich in reward that they might just have your rethinking
your perspective and believing in humanity once again. Surely,
something will come along to challenge it, but all you have to do is
remember what happened here and…just…exhale. See for yourself.
