This world is full of people with different opinions, beliefs and behaviors. But some people have a way of making their way into a special place in your heart.

Here are some things people do that make you think that this world is not that bad of a place after all:

1. When they treat waiters, guards and other workers usually deemed “chotay log” with kindness and respect

Everyone deserves respect. No one was born poor out of choice.

2. When they share your worries and suggest positive solutions

Whenever someone, even for a little bit, gives you the feeling that they’re listening and sharing your problems, you’re automatically going to start feeling better.

3. When they are respectful and loving towards their parents ALL THE TIME

Yes, everyone is respectful but not ALL THE TIME.

4. When they go an extra mile to not litter and actually care about the environment 

5. When they are careful about not smoking all over other people’s faces 

6. When they put their phone aside to give their full attention to you

Oh Fawad, you just need to exist to have all our attention, that’s all.

7. When they are nice to the young ones, especially younger siblings of their friends and loved ones

8. People who don’t raise their voice even when they are arguing 

9. People who always smell super nice

10. When they don’t turn away a beggar empty handed 

Charitable people always have a big heart.

11. When they refrain from judging others 

Remember how nano says, “sab ne apni qabar mein jana hai, sannu ki“? Well, that’s how it should be.

12. When they think its not cool to bully or make fun of anyone or of someone who is simply different from them

13. When they believe in equity

They beleive in fairness and justice in treating people.

14. When they are kind towards animals 

Mmhmmm.

15. When they aren’t sexist or racist 

16. And most especially, when they are forgiving 

Keep doing all this, people. Keep making this world a better place for all of us. God knows, we ALL need that.
