Sometimes, the most amazing acts of kindness are seen in the midst of tragedy. In the wake of the atrocious bombings in France last week, the inhabitants of the city of lights banned together to help one another. Countless Parisians showed their generocity and love by offering their homes to those that needed refuge after the attacks. Spreading the word on Twitter through the hashtag
#porteouverte, they welcomed complete strangers into their homes, providing food and shelter. Taxi drivers offered their assistance by providing safe passage out of the city for free, and people all over the world showed their support by changing their profile pictures to display the French flag.
Despite the horrific events of last week, there are still people in the world willing to lend a helping hand, there is still hope for humanity.
An easy-read which is great for a little morale boast/inspiration on all the good happening during a time the media seems very focused on the bad.
