I enjoyed reading the story about the former refugee who hands out breads to other refugees in Australia, purely for the reason of being nice as he knew the feeling once.

My favorite one was Levos , Greece. I felt sorry for the brother after this incident. It's a good thing that he survived although he can't do things he used to with his other brother. I hope that he will somehow regain his physical movement.

I like the man who lives in Congo. His friend really wished his happiness when he was in hard times, even though he lived off his friend, and it is caused his idea of 'family' to widen. His episode made me rethink about my friends and other important people.

My favorite post is the one about she and her husband going to Turkey for one day. She had to sell everything and when she got there, she and her husband had to work 15 hours a day to have enough money to leave and so she and her husband went on a smuggling boat and it was filled with people and there was an accident and there was some survivors but she was one of them, the security coast guards came and moved her to the boat and they couldn't find her husband so she was all alone and she felt that he was next to her and she felt that he was calling her and when she looked back, she could see him.

I read a brief post about how a woman's family did not appreciate her appearance. I think that's really sad how they know who she is/her personality, yet struggle to look past her appearance and just be more accepting of her. It has taught me to not be so judgmental upon a first impression and that people's appearance should not alter how we view them as a person.
