It's easy to see all the bad in the world and get disheartened, but as the holidays approach, it's important to remember that there is some good in the world.

1. Opposing Teammates Do Something Unthinkable...

Sara Tucholsky was up to bat. As she hit the ball, it popped over the fence and she scored her very first home-run. With searing pain, she runs until she hit 1st base and she can hardly walk. For her to complete her home-run, none of her teammates or coach can touch her to finish her run. From the opponents' team, 2 players, Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace do the unthinkable...

2. The Patriotic Hero

A solider in Afghanistan carried out one of his comrades, continued his brotherhood duty, and went back into combat without a helmet to go save more soldiers. What an amazing act of courage.

3. The 5000% tip

A man working at “Freddie’s” burger and ice cream joint served a young boy. He didn’t have enough money for a simple ice cream. The cashier paid for his ice cream and what happened next was something he wasn't even expecting...

4. The Unknown Motorcyclist

This young motorcyclist saw an older man in a wheelchair. He stops traffic, gets off his motor cycle and walks him across the street.

5. The World-Class Marathoner

This world class runner was winning this marathon. Instead of winning, she stopped to help this man to get a drink of water. The prize that she received was gratitude instead of winning her $10,000 prize.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
