Do you like to watch photos which contain a message?
I do it quite often. Today I chose the ones that I would like to share with you.
These photographs not only make you cry but, above all, force you to reflect and think about what the word "HUMANITY" really means.
Each of them is a powerful message to the world.
They are widely known and have been circulating on the Internet for years, but I think that it is necessary to speak loudly and often about such things.
We are living in the world full of hate. Greed is poisoning human souls.

We need more kindness and gentleness in life.

We have so much love in our hearts...There is a place for everyone in the world.

Through our choices we define our humanity.

Sometimes it may seem that happiness does not exist.

Each of us has the power to give this happiness to others!

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

Welcome to Steemit!
I loved reading this post. Sometimes pictures can speak more than words do! Also, there is no Language Barrier <3
Yes! I love that they are from around the world. We are all one, after all.
Welcome!
I agree, that deep down we don't really hate each other. That is shown all the time when people help a complete stranger. Hate begins with lack-of-understanding and prejudice. The solution is learning more about those we fear.
