It’s never easy living in poverty, and when one loving Mom had to make the choice between stealing food or letting her kids go hungry, she attempted to take five eggs from a local store, but was caught. When officer William Stacy arrived on the scene and heard her story, he felt compassion for her and instead of punishing her, he decided to make a difference.
That day he decided to buy the eggs for her and to give her, Mrs. Johnson, a hug.
Mrs. Johnson feeds her two daughters, niece and two grandchildren, ages 1 and 3 with only $120 a month.
However, last week her pay was lost, leaving the Johnsons on the brink of starvation.
By Saturday, the family had not eaten for two days, so Johnson went to the local Dollar General with only $1.25 to try and buy eggs.
To her despair she found herself 50 cents short of being able to buy the eggs, and put five eggs into her pockets.
At the time it may not have seemed that way, but fortuitously the eggs broke in her pocket.
“I am not a good thief at all,” Mrs. Johnson said.
She was stopped by store staff as she tried to leave with the egg whites and yolks dripping from her jacket pocket, and immediately Johnson admitted that she had stolen them to feed her family.
The store had already called the police and when Officer William arrived, he told her to stay where she was while he talked with the store owners.
They decided together not to press charges against Mrs. Johnson, but when they went to speak to the grandmother in tears, she expected handcuffs to be brought.
“She started crying, she got very emotional and was very apologetic,” Officer William said. “She tried to give me the money she had on her, $1.25.”
William explained to her that she was not going to be arrested. He remembered her from a prior visit to her house and recalled how poverty stricken she was. Her family all sleeps on mattresses on the floor.
“The story she told me Saturday matched up with what I had seen when I was there,” said officer William.
“I felt like it was the right thing to do. I didn’t want to pass judgment on her.”
He bought her a carton of eggs and when Johnson asked Stacy how she could repay him, he simply asked her never to shoplift again.
“I hope she won’t do it again. I pray she doesn’t, and I don’t think she will,” said William.
Just before she got into her car, Johnson turned to hug Stacy and unknown to them, the moment was captured on cellphone by Robert ‘Dollar’ Tripp who posted it to Facebook with the hashtag, ‘feelgoodstoryoftheday’.
Then wanting to help her more, that week William and some colleagues showed up at the woman’s house with two truckloads worth of food for her and her family.
“The last time I saw my house this full, I was 12-years-old and staying with my grandmother,” said Mrs. Johnson. “I’ve been crying all day.”
Afterwards the officers decided to setup a fund at People’s First Federal Credit Union so that Mrs. Johnson could receive donations, which after this story went viral began pouring in. William’s police chief said that they’ve been receiving calls from across the U.S. and the world thanking them and offering to donate money, food and clothing to Mrs. Johnson as well.
“This woman’s getting plenty of food,” the chief said. “She shouldn’t be hungry for a while.”
With the recent rise in awareness of the high amount of police brutality towards African Americans, Officer William wanted to show compassion and to prove that there are still good law enforcement officers too.
Various studies have shown that living in poverty drastically increases the rate of crime, as people who are desperate will do desperate things to survive. The answer to solving many of the issues we face in society does not have to do with stricter punishment, but has to do with showing compassion through understanding of the other’s situation, and doing our best to elevate them out of poverty. When poverty is removed, the large majority of crime is too.
If you notice someone struggling to eat in your community this week, try to lend them a hand; buy them some food, share a hug, and show some compassion. You just might be the answer to their prayer.
According to the world famous psychologist Richard Gregory and his hollow mask experiment, the brain’s visual perception relies on top-down processing and nearly 90% of the information our eyes first perceive is lost by the time it reaches the brain.
Due to this, the mind has to make its best guess based on past experiences and memories relating to knowledge of the subject being observed.
In this example of a rotating Charlie Chaplin mask, Dr. Gregory explained how we perceive the hollow side of the mask as protruding and turning in the opposite direction, based on the mind’s expectation of how the image “should” look and appear to be. The mind is not used to seeing inverted faces, but it has a tremendous amount of data on what regular human faces look like, so this causes us to see something different from what actually exists.
What our minds first perceive can also be related to certain subconscious associations, which are connected to parts of our personalities. In this fun animal visual test, pay attention to what animal you see first when looking at the picture, then read below to see what it says about you:Which Animal Do You See First?
The First Animal You See Reveals Your Personality:
1. Stallion
If the stallion was the first animal you saw, you are wonderfully ambitious by nature. Wild, free and real, you highly value your sense of independence and tend to do whatever it takes to get what you want in life. You’re not afraid of hard work and can stand up for yourself when need be. You have a strong heart connection which others find beautiful about you. Honest, driven, admirable and kind are how your friends would describe you.
Maintain your deep heart connection and sense of freedom within by going for what you want in life, but by letting go of the results. When you truly begin to follow where your heart is guiding you, and you let go of any idea of how it “has” to be, you’ll create a life which you passionately enjoy and where you feel deep contentment and freedom inside.
2. A Rooster
If you first saw a rooster, your personality knows the value of perseverance. “Persist and you shall succeed” are words you’ve understood and giving up on what you want isn’t an option for you. A rooster isn’t the largest animal, but it is fast, smart, persistent and is not afraid of protecting the ones it loves.
Your ability to take care of and to look out for those in your life is greatly valued by your friends and family. People feel safe around you, knowing that if they are having a difficult time, you’ll be one of the first ones to speak up for them. Maintain your helpful, kind and supporting attitude towards others, and you can really make a difference in their lives. Another saying to remember for you is, “When you help enough other people get what they want, you eventually get what you want.”
3. Crab
Seeing the crab first tends to mean that your personality is hard on the outside, and soft and tender on the inside. Crabs can be extremely loyal, putting the needs of others above their own. Turning your back on those you love is not an option for you, and those in your life are lucky to have you.
You sometimes struggle to tell others about your deep and intimate feelings, but you really do care about them. Unkind words can sometimes easily hurt your feelings, but you’d rather try to brush it off and appear strong than let others know this. While appearing strong is very important to you, don’t forget that everyone needs a little help sometimes, and wonderful relationships can be built when one person is brave enough to be vulnerable and to ask another for help with something. You might just find that all of the wonderful and kind help you’re always ready to give to others, that others are also willing to give to you, with a smile on their faces.
4. Praying Mantis
The praying mantis is a master of the senses and of patience. It can remain still for long periods of time, and when something it wants appears, it acts without hesitation. If you first saw the praying mantis, it means you are patient in waiting for what you want, and decisive on taking action to get it when it appears. You have a strong intuition, and your gut instinct is usually right about many things. Your heart often knows the truth of things before you learn all of the details with your mind.
When you feel stressed or nervous in life, remember these five steps to regain your naturally peaceful and patient self. First remember to breathe, often just by focusing on our breathing we can naturally become calm. Second, try tensing and then releasing one muscle group at a time for five seconds. This can relax your body. Third, manage your expectations by accepting things as they are, rather than as you would prefer them to be, as this will bring the peace of mind you are seeking. Fourth, practice meditation and self-compassion. Sit in a quiet and peaceful place and practice feeling love for each part of your body and your personality. Fifth, make a connection with someone by talking and sharing your experience. There are many wonderful people in the world, you being one of them, and you never know the inspiring things you might learn.
5. Wolf
Wolves usually belong to packs, but they are also known to survive on their own. Fearless, fierce and intelligent, a wolf is not afraid of choosing its own path and of blazing its own trail. If you first saw the wolf in the picture, you are a quiet warrior whose presence always stands out in a crowd. Your wisdom carries with it a majestic quality that attracts people to you. While you often desire the company of loved ones, you also value your alone time and can pretty much get by all on your own.
Seeing the wolf first also means you have a deep ability to know others. While you can usually easily win an argument with another, try to remember to put yourself in their shoes, and share your wisdom with others in a gentle way which they can listen to and are able to hear. Gentleness is your strength, and when you are gentle to others, your pack will always want to be around you.
6. Dog
Dogs are loyal, brave, protective and lovingly selfless by nature. Those who first see the dog are some of the most loyal people you can meet, and who also know how to let loose and play from time to time. Your personality makes it easy for people to be friends with you, and they generally miss you when you’re not around, even if they don’t say it. You have more qualities than can be listed, and the people who know the real you, really love you.
You can be the help that people are needing, and the shoulder to cry on for a good friend. Use your natural good nature to be kind to those around you, because your type of energy is one that can help others to let their guards down and to truly accept the help they need.
7. Falcon
Both noble and strong, falcons are able to see things clearly and to lock onto what they want in life. If you first saw the falcon, you tend to be wild, free and love to travel. You can focus on achieving what you want, and you’re able to deal with challenges in your life quite well. The falcon, like the eagle, is one of the only birds that when it sees a storm coming, can fly above the storm, rather than sit beneath it. Your positive mindset works the same way. When challenging things present themselves, rather than sitting in the mud and letting it bother you, you keep your vision set on the sunshine after and have a general optimism that you will succeed.
You have a natural ability for leadership, as you can see what needs to be done and can help everyone stay focused on a positive outcome. Remember to kindly include even the smallest person in your great visions, those around you will respect you even more than they already do.
8. Butterfly
The butterfly is a wonderful symbol of beauty and transformation. From cocoon to one of the prettiest creatures on the Earth, the butterfly represents the ability to go through difficult times in life and to emerge as an incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. Those who first see the butterfly are more than survivors, they are those who through their own self-growth can truly help others and make the world a more beautiful place. You are adaptable, flexible and can adjust to make things happen.
Endurance is one of your biggest strengths, as by nature you have a bright spark within that allows you to stay hopeful even in the most trying of times. The world needs more of the beautiful things you have to offer, so remember to share your heart with those you love.
The dove is a well-known symbol of peace and love. Pure, elegant, and wise. If you first saw the dove, people have an easy time finding things to like about you. You are calm, patient and have a sense of inner peace that allows others to relax around you.
Maintain your balance by taking time for self-care; make a regular weekly time to read a book, enjoy a warm bath, listen to your favorite music, relax and drink tea, or whatever helps you to replenish your peaceful energy levels. You’re a symbol of hope and peace to those around you, so by maintaining your healthy emotional state, you’re also helping them.
There is a sense of satisfaction when you figure out the answer to a complicated test. Another added benefit is that research shows us puzzles can help to keep our brains active, maintain and increase mental functions.

A Smile Is One Of The Kindest Things You Can Give, And One Of The Most Beautiful Things You Can Wear.
The word Buddha means The Awakened One, which derives from the Sanskrit root Budh – ‘to wake’. A Buddha is one who has awakened through knowing and has discovered the way to end suffering. The historical Buddha Siddhartha was not a deity. He was a wise human being who spent years in self-observation and meditation, finding a balanced way of achieving wisdom, compassion and freedom from suffering.
The Fundamental Buddhist Doctrines Include:
The Chain of Causation: Ignorance leads to suffering, and eliminating ignorance leads to freedom from suffering.
The Three Signs of Being, That Which Leads To Suffering: 1. Nothing found in the physical world can bring lasting deep satisfaction, 2. Impermanence, which refers not only to the fact that all conditioned things eventually cease to exist, but also that all conditioned things are in a constant state of flux, today imagined as the atoms constituting your body are constantly being replaced. 3. Non-Self: The “I” we are conditioned to believe as who we are is not real, and learned after birth, after we already existed. Identifying our selves as what we are not, as things that will forever change and eventually end, causes suffering. The real “I” has no end.
The Four Noble Truths of: Suffering, the Origin of Suffering, the Ceasing of Suffering, the Way leading to the Ceasing of Suffering: called The Noble Eightfold Path
The Noble Eightfold Path: Right View, Right Resolve, Right Mindfulness, Right Speech, Right Conduct, Right Effort, Right Livelihood and Right Samadhi: Following these 8 steps allows one to let go of the cravings and desires that cause suffering and to attain inner bliss.
Buddhists value virtues such as humanity, patience, kindness to all living things, giving, and compassion. The idea to cause no harm to animals, plants and the world in general is a gentle and solid foundation of their teaching. Buddhism’s goal is to help people live peaceful lives.
One of the most profound teachings within Buddhism is their viewpoint on change and the impermanence of life. They believe that nothing in the world is permanent or fixed, but rather is forever changing and never the same. We are never the same people, either mentally, emotionally, or physically that we were a few years ago.
Science has recently confirmed this, stating that all cells in the body are replaced every seven to ten years. By trying to hold onto an idea of who we are, once were, or who someone or something else “should be,” we are only setting ourselves up to suffer as they all are destined to change.
Researchers also recently confirmed that within the realm of neuroscience, the human body is changing all of the time, meaning that there isn’t a stable ‘self’ for any person.
The University of British Columbia’s Evan Thomson explains that; “from a neuroscience perspective, the brain and body is constantly in flux. There’s nothing that corresponds to the sense that there’s an unchanging self.”
Neuroplasticity, a concept coined by neuroscientists, states that our brain is malleable and able to change. This means the brain can change and adapt in many aspects, opening up possibilities for growth.
The potential within these statements is that regardless of how we think ourselves to be, everyone has the potential at any moment to rewrite their life stories and live the lives they’ve dreamed of in their hearts. We can achieve anything we put our minds to.
The Buddha left a few profound words of wisdom for us;
“Nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change. Being is always becoming.”
“‘All conditioned things are impermanent’ — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.”
“Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.”
“As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.”
