All you need is love…Love and kindness. This is something not a single person on this planet could say ’no’ to. Love helps us fight the worst diseases and kindness helps us get through the most challenging life situations. When one’s heart is filled with joy and happiness, there’s always a reason to live.
We here at Liked Video strongly believe that when it comes to kindness, there isn’t a deed that’s too small or insignificant. Every selfless good deed gives our crazy world another chance to become a better place. We would like to share some real-life stories of those who think — and more importantly — live in accordance with such principles.
