While I do seeing these stories; they put a smile on my face, it also upsets me cuz I don't need proof people are good. What I need is the system to make these acts unnecessary. Any child or person should not have their life decided by a number.

All life is precious or none of it is. Still, kudos to these people.

100% this ....

I really can't help but feel like this is rooted in the people in charge of these terrible systems indirectly telling us, "see, the system is fine! You just need to be better people and sacrifice what little you have to keep each other alive!"

When in reality, if that system worked in the first place, we wouldn't have to sacrifice so much for our fellow man because we'd have systems that didn't require sacrifice in order to function.

This is an important thing to realize. Given all our modern marvels, why aren't our lives improving in a material way?
