Most people hope that their friends and family would be there for them in an emergency or to stand up for them if necessary. In a way, that’s how you know who your real friends are. It doesn’t mean you have to agree all the time, but when it’s especially important, you’re on the same side.
What’s even more inspiring than friends and family helping each other is when complete strangers stand up for other strangers. The subreddit forum r/GatesOpenComeOnIn has many examples of just that. Instead of turning on each other or pointing out our differences, the posts in this forum show examples of people coming together. Scroll down for some of our favorites and prepare to be inspired.
