Kindness comes in many ways. For some, it's a "Bless you!" from a stranger after they sneeze. For others, it's volunteering at the animal shelter. On average, one American commits five good deeds a month, according to a 2019 poll. These include holding the door for a stranger, helping with directions, and even paying for someone else's meal.
We here at Bored Panda like to make the world a kinder place by sharing the good deeds of others. Wholesome and altruistic people deserve to get their flowers, so we took a trip to the "Just Wholesome" subreddit and picked out the most heartwarming and uplifting stories for you to enjoy!
We also got in touch with one of the community's moderators, Sally G., aka u/InitialConclusion507. She kindly agreed to tell us how the subreddit came to be, why wholesome content is so important in today's world, and what it's like being the sleuth of wholesomeness. Read our conversation with her below!
