Helps people all over the world without. The world is not without good people. How to understand the meaning of the proverb? Music is light
“In this world, clothed in sins, one cannot live without the light of one’s beloved eyes” - this little poem contains a huge truth!
Among all the wars, human evil, dirt, political upheavals, it is very important that at the right moment, there is someone nearby who will lend you a helping hand, say something kind word or give a warm look! Even the smallest kind deed can be more valuable to someone than all the gold in the world!
Fortunately, there are many such people, but unfortunately, few people know about them, or their actions remain behind the scenes and are quickly forgotten.
Therefore, we decided to introduce you to people who, by their example, are trying to resist the mercantile ideology of modernity that surrounds us all!
After all, the most important thing in our life is to remain human!
15. Grandfather Dobri
In the Bulgarian village of Bailovo, near the capital Sofia, lives a 99-year-old grandfather whom people nicknamed “Grandfather Dobri.” He doesn't need nice clothes - the main thing is to be warm. He is not worried about comfort - there is nothing unnecessary in the house, and he sleeps on a hard bed. From food, he only needs 2-3 tomatoes and a piece of bread per day. A pension of 100 euros is enough for him.
For many years now, every day, regardless of the weather or fatigue, grandfather Dobri walks 10 km from his native village to the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in St. Sophia to ask for alms from passers-by.
Not long ago, one journalist made a film about the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Collecting required material in the archives of the temple, he came across information that subsequently amazed not only the Bulgarians, but the whole world. It turned out that the largest private donation during the entire existence of the cathedral (40,000 euros) was made not by one of the rich philanthropists or politicians, but by Dobry’s grandfather.
This old grandfather also helped an orphanage that could not pay for electricity and heating, donating a considerable amount of money.
Many residents of Bulgaria are well aware of the good deeds of Grandfather Dobri, respect and love him, calling him a man of God.
Grandfather never brags about his actions, and under no circumstances does he use the collected money for his own needs, donating every last penny to charity.
And grandfather Dobri himself treats everyone who cares with tenderness and trepidation; he can kiss the hand of a little boy or talk to passers-by about faith and God.

They began to come to the lake, where John took his dog in his arms, and thanks to the light waves and warm water, the pain subsided and the animal fell asleep, resting its head on the owner’s shoulder.
We often hear that “a dog is man’s best friend.” This story proves that a person can also be best friend dogs.

2. Grandma Tony's kind heart
Grandmother Tonya lives in the Russian outback, in Suzdal. She constantly sells magic felt boots and souvenirs near the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which she makes herself with great love. Baba Tonya does all this for the sake of children from orphanages located in the Vladimir region. For her, everyone there is her grandchildren.
Baba Tonya says: “This is uninteresting work, depressing in its stupidity. If she didn’t bring me such income and didn’t help with orphans, it would be hard for me. But since she still helps people, helps orphans, I carefully play and roll..."
“If I sell everything in my purse, you’ll probably be surprised, I’ll clothe at least 20 children from an orphanage.”
For these children, Baba Tonya is everyone’s grandmother, who is loved not because she supplies them with clothes or delicious food. Here, Baba Tonya is not just a guest - she knows every child by name, children's performances are organized for her, poetry, songs and dances are taught for her sake, and her arrival is always eagerly awaited!
And if, upon arriving at the orphanage, something is wrong: there is cold food on the plates or the children’s clothes are not ironed - Baba Tonya, despite all her kindness, will not remain silent. And they listen to her.
1. Hero of our time
On May 7 at approximately 23:45 I encountered this situation. I was walking with my child along the pedestrian path in front of the bridge near the city hall; as expected, cars stopped in front of me to let us pass. But the Audi was flying along the left lane, not paying attention to the fact that all the cars were standing, giving way to pedestrians... it just flew... I looked and realized that there were moments left that it would blow us away...
According to the woman, what happened next: the driver from the middle row turned 90 degrees and blocked the “racer’s” path, putting his life and the luxury Cadillac at risk. The reckless driver in the Audi, who did not expect such a turn of events, flew out of the lane and tore down the curb.
This hero turned out to be 26-year-old Alexander Bushuev. Here's what he says: “I stopped in front of a zebra crossing, and while pedestrians (a man with a woman and a mother with a child) were crossing the road, I noticed in the mirror the ill-fated Audi from the 18th region. I wouldn’t say that the car was racing at breakneck speed, it was traveling about 70 km/h. But he was approaching a pedestrian crossing, and did not slow down. So I decided to attract his attention and blocked the road... Later, when the traffic police arrived, the Audi driver complained that I cut him off. But there was no tangential impact, there was no DVR, so there could be no complaints, and we parted ways.”
When he was asked the question: “Did you think about your own life at that moment?” Alexander modestly replied that at that moment he was not thinking about own safety, and even more so about the car:
– I treat my car very carefully, one might even say pedantic. But when someone's life is at stake, iron fades into the background. If something happened, the airbags would take care of my own life. They have already saved me somehow.

You can talk and write a lot about good, but it is best to create it, as the heroes of this post did. Some might call their actions heroism, self-sacrifice, even recklessness. Although this is just a manifestation of humanity. They did not remain indifferent, could not pass by, or simply fulfilled their duty. When we are no longer surprised by such actions, we will rise to a higher level!

The dog, named Shep, has arthritis. To alleviate the dog’s suffering at least a little, every day his owner John took Shep to the lake. John took the dog in his arms and went deep into the water. The water allowed the dog to finally relax so much that the pain subsided and Shep could calmly take a nap on his owner’s chest. Shep passed away at the age of 20 in 2013.

The world is not without good people
Grandfather Savely began to prepare for this event in advance. At the end of May, his granddaughter Dimka comes to his village. He doesn’t come himself, of course, his parents will bring him. I’m not yet old enough to travel such distances on my own. After the first grade, I will spend the third summer in the company of my grandfather. Didn't come to school. Kindergartens yes summer cottages were not allowed.
Savely lives alone. He buried his wife three years ago. I'm almost seventy myself. Every year it becomes more and more difficult to bear loneliness, so he prepared for the meeting as if for a holiday: he cleaned the hut, heated the bathhouse - he needed to get some steam out of the way. I cooked lunch: cabbage soup, porridge, jelly. The day before, I went to a local store and bought some treats: several bags of dry lemonade (diluted with cold water - good), a kilogram of small pretzels and, of course, a whole pack of chewy squares, “chews,” as Dimka calls them. It has become too fashionable among children. Well, let him amuse himself. I took field binoculars out of the chest, wiped them, and admired them. Of course, a gift from the commander! “For good service” - that’s what it says on the tin. Now this is a gift for my grandson. He straightened the stairs to the hayloft, where an old wheel from a wheelbarrow was nailed to the window, which Dimka turned like a steering wheel every time he looked through binoculars through the window, imagining himself as a captain. He gave commands and carried them out himself.
The meeting was warm and joyful. Now Savely has someone to talk to, tell him something, and it’s very interesting to listen to him: how his grandson studied, what he did in the evenings, who and what his friends are.
All day long they dug, now in the vegetable garden, now in the garden. We went into the forest to pick the first strawberries. We listened to the nightingales and the cuckoo. They wondered how many years they had left to live. We tried to catch a fish in our small river with a fishing rod. Time flew by. Savely’s soul was light and calm. And how necessary is mental balance in these years! During his long, difficult life, Savely became extremely emotional. At least live a little without fuss. After all, soon you will have to die.
On this ill-fated day, nothing foreshadowed trouble. In the morning they examined the garden again, fed the chickens, had breakfast and got ready to go to the nearest copse, look at the first russula and pick up a couple of cuttings for rakes and shovels. While they were getting dressed, Savely splashed water into a pan and put it on the stove. It’ll warm up, let’s wash the dishes and go. And how did it happen that at the last minute he forgot about the pan on the gas burner, closed the house, and the old man and the little one went towards the forest.
Dimka had binoculars around his neck, which he constantly put to his eyes and tried to take a closer look at everything that came into his field of vision. His attention was attracted by the blue cloudless sky, the bright green grass wet with dew, the singing of birds and the stream that he met along the way. Crossing the stream, Dimka sat down and began scooping up water with his palm to drink.
Grandpa! Did you want to take a bottle of water to the forest and some rye bread with salt? Black lightning pierced Savely's mind. He remembered the forgotten bottle on the table and the pot of water on the stove.
Dima! You did not see? Did I turn off the gas or not?
No, I haven't! Savely's legs gave way. My mind was clouded. My whole body went through a spasm. He already clearly saw how a painted wooden partition caught fire from a red-hot vessel. Smoke is already pouring out from under the roof. The flames engulfed the entire house and spread to neighboring ones. The people who have come running are huddled at the only well and cannot do anything about the fire. The fire truck drove up to a wide ditch surrounding the street, but it was impossible to pass through, the bridge did not allow it. All this horror appeared in my mind in one second.
Dima! Dima! House fire. I left the gas on! Look through binoculars, can you see smoke above our street?
No, I can't see anything!
Then let's run!
Dimka rushed forward like an arrow.
Dima! Dima! Take this key! But remembering that the lock was difficult to open, he hopelessly waved his hand and trotted after his grandson. Having completely suffocated, he bent down on the grass by the road. The grandson, seeing his grandfather on the side of the road, returned. The child's heart felt mortal danger and was ready to break into pieces. Either stay with grandpa, or run to the house.
Now Savely no longer remembers how they got to the porch or how they opened the lock. He only remembers that they ran into the kitchen and saw a crimson-hot vessel and a smoking partition. I also remember the cloud of steam that rose to the ceiling from a pan thrown into a bucket of water. Walking into the front room, he collapsed on the bed as he was. A wild inhuman groan escaped from his chest. His hands grabbed his own hair and froze. The cap rolled on the floor. He lost consciousness.
Dimka stood there for a while, confused, but then he jumped out into the street and ran as fast as he could to Grandma Ulyasha, who lived opposite. She came to their house and used to treat him with goat's milk.
Ulyana was alarmed when she saw the roaring, out of breath Dimka, and when she heard the bad news, she shouted across the alley:
Daria! Savely is feeling bad, he’s probably having a heart attack again, run to Nastasya, she still has some pills from Peter! And she herself, grabbing a bottle of holy water from behind the shrine, hurried to help.
Savely lay face up with his eyes closed and his arms outstretched to the sides. The beard and mustache bristled like tufts of unkempt tow. Baba Ulyasha bent over him: is he breathing? She undid the buttons on her shirt. Then she crossed herself and, taking holy water into her mouth, sprinkled Savely’s face three times.
Daria and Nastasya appeared. One brought pills, the other brought immortelle infusion. They took off their boots, padded jacket, and jacket. The belt of the trousers was loosened. Ulyana rubbed her chest with her hands and read the prayer “May God rise again.” Savely opened his eyes:
Grandson! Native! Where are you? Run to the track, maybe you'll get away somehow. Tell your mother that I’m not feeling well, and let them go to my roommate’s house.
The neighbor, Nikolai Ivanovich, is a general practitioner, like Savely, long retired. But he sometimes opened his traveling bag and helped his family and close friends. They became friends when Savely lived in the city for two weeks. The frosts were very severe that winter, it was cold in the village. Then he came to Savely in the village and spent two summers in a row with pleasure.
Dimka ran two miles to the highway without a break. He had never had to go on such long trips alone, without adults. But the duty of a grandson and love for his grandfather overcame fear.
On the highway, a private car owner, seeing a child crying and frantically waving his arms, stopped:
What happened, kid?
Grandpa is dying, he sent for mom.
Well, sit down! Where do you live? Do you know?
He turned out to be a kind, merciful person, God grant him health. He drove Dimka right to the entrance, although not along the way. I wished my grandfather good health. If only we were all so responsive.
Meanwhile, Savely felt better. He sat up on the bed and saw his neighbors fussing around him:
Forgive me, old man, I gave you trouble, took you away from my affairs. God will save you, my good friends, I will owe you!
Well, what are you, what are you! What do you owe us? It is we who must bow at your feet. Over there I repaired Ulyana’s roof, nailed a new latch on Nastasya’s gate, and fixed my little town! - Daria listed. - Low bow to you for this!
Before sunset, an old Moskvich stopped under the window. It was Nikolai Ivanovich who arrived with his suitcase, taking his relatives along the way.
Everything in the hut was tidy and washed. Savely was lying in bed with his head tied in a towel. Baba Ulyasha managed the housework. She worked hard and helped the doctor as much as she could. After the injection and pills, Savely felt relief and wanted to get up, but the right side did not obey, and they laid him down again, forbidding him to move.
The next morning, my daughter and her husband went to the highway; they had to go to work. And his friends remained to complete his grandfather’s treatment: grandma Ulyasha and her friends, the old doctor and grandson Dimka. And only thanks to their tireless care did death recede. After a few days he was already able to sit. His heart became calmer. He could not hide his tears of gratitude to these people.
Truly, the world is not without good people!
About the evil and the good I am terribly interested: is the division of all living things into good and evil the prerogative of all children in the world, or is it primarily ours, post-Soviet children? If ours - then these are echoes of our terrible domestic history (red - good, white -

A lonely 71-year-old man lived in a crumbling shack in one of the districts of Bucharest. The house was very bad, leaking, falling apart and had no amenities. But the old man refused to leave this place, because it was here that he lived with his wife, who had already died for many years by that time. One day a guy told the old man’s story on his Facebook page, and this is what happened then...
The old man's name is Ion Negrila. This is an ordinary pensioner, very proud and at the same time very lonely. For many years after the death of his wife, he grieved without even trying to somehow improve his life. He became unsociable, spoke little with his neighbors, and the area in which his home is located cannot be called the friendliest: thefts and crimes often occur here.
City authorities more than once offered Jonah to move to another house or even to a nursing home with full board, but for the old man this was unthinkable. He flatly refused to leave his home.
It was in this house that his wife died in a fire in 2006. This plunged Jonah into depression, and as a result, his family and former colleagues stopped communicating with him. In his youth, Ion was cheerful, cheerful and always helped other people in any way he could. But in his old age he was left completely alone.
Ion came to terms with his situation; he no longer wanted to change anything. Social services constantly sent inspectors to him, who documented that his house was completely uninhabitable, and the old man’s health was also at risk. Ion simply closed the door in front of the inspectors and did not want to hear anything about the move.
After seeing Ion's story on Facebook one day, several young people decided to solve this problem in their own way. It was truly impossible to live in that house - there were no windows, the walls were crumbling, and the ceiling sagged and leaked desperately. In Romania, winter temperatures can reach -20C, so leaving an old man alone with his grief, loneliness and problems would be wrong. The guys thought that since he didn't want to leave his house, why not force him to move, but instead make a new house right next to the old one.
The guys themselves didn’t earn much, but they knew how to get the most out of even a small amount. They asked anyone online who wanted to help to donate money, and eventually raised a thousand euros.
With their own efforts, the guys cleared a place next to Ion’s old shack, cut down the stumps, and leveled the ground. They then bought an old container that was still in good condition. They replaced the doors and windows, painted the walls and ceiling inside, laid the floor, insulated it, installed electricity, heating, water inside, made/bought furniture, and tried to make the new house as comfortable as possible. Other caring people also got involved in the work, so everything was done quite quickly.
When Ion realized that the guys were really going to make a home for him, and that these were not just words in the wind, he was amazed. He has long been unaccustomed to the kindness and attention of others. When the old man entered his new home, he was so moved that he didn’t even know how to react. For the first time in a long time he could touch warm batteries, sleep on clean, dry linen and do not bundle up from the cold and wind.
A month later, just in time for Catholic Christmas, the guys returned to Ion again, this time to make him a fence. All funds for this were raised thanks to donations, and the guys worked independently. They were happy to see that Ion was using the house, that he had completely changed his lifestyle: now his house is always clean, he has food at home, he invites guests to his home, and in general he has become much more social.
“He smiles a lot now, much more than before. In fact, no one had ever seen a smile on his face before,” says one of the guys. “We are making this video to inspire other people to do similar things.”
And here is the video itself, which the guys made to inspire other people to do similar things:
And be sure to watch the second part of this story, which shows how the same guys saw Jonah just a month later, when they came to him to install a fence. How much the old man has changed!
