21 Pictures Of The Human Race That Are Simply Stunning | ViralMozo
Lately in the media, all we tend to see are the bad things. Innocent people getting killed here, a building or a place getting bombed there, it almost feels like there has never been a good day for any one of us after hearing news like that.
Let’s stop and quickly remind ourselves that with the amount of unfortunate events that happen, there will always be a lot of good things to counter it because that’s how it is in the world. The world is diverse. People are diverse. These photos we’ve gathered capture just how diverse the human race is, and how amazing that fact is to remember.

War is never really a good thing. In an ideal world, if we all listened and talked, wars would never happen. But alas, the world can be unfair for a lot of people. While this soldier may be proud to serve his country, he probably isn’t proud of the fact that they will have to fight just to be able to maintain justice and keep the peace. “I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in”
2. A Lord Of Death

Seen here, interacting with the tourists nearby Cancun. This is before they do a re-enactment of an ancient Mayan mission to honor the goddess of fertility.

From under the remains of their home in Syria. Syria has been quite a fragile place lately, with the airstrikes and bombings that have been occurring. It is with this that many innocent lives are taken and many locals take refuge in a safer place, or even in another country entirely.
4. Hello

No we don’t mean the Adele song. A lot of people everywhere say hello in many different languages, or expressed in many different ways. In this case, Maoris greet each other by doing the hongi, which is pressing their noses together. It’s adorable isn’t it?

In tough times like these, being able to protect one’s family is more important than ever. Especially with the oncoming threats of ISIS towards the rest of the world.

With the dominance of the more modern forms of government today, it’s not everyday that you get to see some modern monarchs, apart from the royal family of the UK. These two are the king and queen of the Buddhist country Bhutan.
9. Mother And Daughter

It’s a little bit frightening how domestic violence is a thing. This mother and he 3-year old daughter pair have been attacked by the husband/father by spilling acid on them. Despite their partially melted off and burned faces, they are still alive and well together.

Meal times are always a way to get everyone in the family together. This Siberian family enjoys a rather messy and very raw meal.
18. Young Ship Breakers

The sad truth is that children are already being called in to work at a very young age. These are ship-breakers in Bangladesh who claim to already be at the minimum working age of 14. For young teenagers, the job they’re doing is rather dangerous.
19. Preventing Suicide

This is very moving photo. A girl on the bus tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrist with a fruit knife. The passengers who were also on board the bus and who have witnessed it are trying to save her. With a few women holding down her arm, another woman pouring an antiseptic, and the man standing by with a roll of bandages in his hand. It shows that even though they come from all walks of life, and even though they don’t know each other, they made sure that she would be okay.
20. Afghan Skater Girls
