Wholesome Moments Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis and his efforts went unrecognised for 50 years. Then, in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he had rescued, who were now adults.

Whoa, guy had, like, mad updoots... but IRL!

I hope you read the above in a Cali skater voice (gender preference: optional), because that was the spirit in which it was intended

Those are #LifeGoal updoots.

The ones that made the world better and helped.

I don't get how people can look at the world and think karma exists.

At least in the "non religious" way we use the term. I think in the religions where it exists, that's supposed to be affecting your afterlife, not current one.

And Johan van Hulst, who saved hundreds of Dutch Jewish children from the Holocaust, lived to 107.

The standard Jewish blessing is for a long life, as it happens.

it sure does. i have a philosphy about it. do good things knowing it could come back to you. but dont do them so that its comes back to you. do them, because its the good and right thing to do regardless,

i know there are several times that it has come back to me, and it was because i did good things. in hopes of continuing the trend i do good things, but again not expecting it to come back to me
