I Have Lost Faith In People

But now and then something restores my faith in human race.
This is one of the most touching stories I have read in a while. An elderly couple died side by side in hospital after being together for 77 years.

What a great thing people of the staff in the hospital did.
I didn't know this event. Wow! It's so beautiful that they could be together in these last moments.

I don't know what's happening to us. I think people in general are good in heart. Perhaps, there aren't spiritual or trascendental reasons for our goodness, perhaps it's only a question of empathy but I'm more convinced each day even when I see lots of mean acts happening.

@Cierzo: Sure. I wonder why we have to be so self-protective. Why we perceive a threaten out there.
Could it be because we are "brought up" in a society were only our individual and mean values are at the top? And people are ready to do whatever to accomplish with these values even when it could mean, stepping on any other person?

@GraceFromEP: Grace, I see which such a pain when people is walking in the street and they don't look at anywhere other than their phones, or their i-pads...
@twistermind: Yes indeed, that is sad, and it also shows how lonely and desperate people are for just any kind of company.
Yes, I read that before. It is very touching. Thank you for submitting it.

It doesn't say whether either or both of them were aware of what was happening , but it would be nice to think that they were. Very touching indeed.
