We may go through floods and storms, fear and death, but the one thing that marches on is the human spirit. And whenever a true disaster hits, we find that not all humans are bad, in fact, many of them do kind and honorable things during the toughest of times, without asking for anything in return. It is at times like these, when the chips are down, that we find the most hope for human kind. The following are little stories from the recent Hurricane Sandy where people stepped up and offering their kindness and help to their fellow man. We're proud of them. |
