27. When a soldier met his baby girl for the first time

Giftedgreen: The Nagasaki Brothers: Shortly after the bombing of the city, this photo was taken. The younger child in the picture is dead and the older boy is his brother. He carried his brother to a crematorium, watching him burn but refusing to cry. He had just lost everything in the world, but still focused on honoring his fallen (and equally innocent) younger brother.

Really..
Sorry...

Is War necessary? Greed, avarice, disregard of human life. I always ask myself what the problem with the world is. The problem is us. Let's change our ways and make the world a better place.

This is world historz in picturs

I've taken my time to go through all the touching pictures and my conclusion is that I have only enjoyed God's mercy and protection from such calamities before and now.
Lord, I'm grateful and what about you?

Op, you really did your digging well. Abeg, that no.17 “Wait For Me Daddy” did the father return back home to his son? What a touching picture. Awwwwww, sad on a Friday momo..

edozie04: Moderators front page please
I wonder why blacks did not do this to the whites in our own soil

Because not all blacks are foolish enough to think if someone behaves stupid you must also do likewise. Thank you but no thanks

Unluvable:

I miss you tooooo.....life happened!

How is everything with you?

Everything is fine...good to have you back.

I'm not crying. I just have something in my eyes.

So touching

So touching! However, these shouldn't just evoke strong emotions which we will forget soon, they should inspire us to do more for humanity; you can't do all, but do your bit, within your ability for that neighbour, friend, etc.

Baby and vulture

this happened when a child was crawling to a food Centre. the journalist was criticized and he later committed suicide for not doing enough

Not moved at all so somethings definately wrong with me. Lol

only thing that got me thinking was the courage displayed by a little Japanese boy carrying his only family (dead baby brother) to the crematorium, watching d guy burn and not shedding a single tear. 2 me d boy is the hero cos even at his age, he understands what needs to be done.

I'll draw a parallel btw this boy and africans. We, Africans, need heroes, not empathisers. We need people like that little boy to, though down, get us back on our feet and, together with our african brethren, shed whatever weight/image pulling us down, rather than fold our arms and wait for oyinbo who would then snap pics further enforcing the very image we want rid.

over time, my concern has been the realisation that black folks have somewhat been conditioned to empathise more with white /arab mans suffering than their fellow black man while on the reverse, its inverse ....sorry, dats btw

@Pic 8. Is that a living being or a fossil?
nice list

Great collection you gat here OP. You just told a very beautiful story with this beautiful graphics...m so adding them to my archive

BTW...all yuh threads r interesting. *following*

I can't believe some faithfuls can with all sincerity of heart think they are safe because God decide to show them mercy/grace. What would u expect the young-elder brother that carried his dead younger brother to b cremated say? Or ar u saying the D starving armenian children that were teased with a piece of bread lack God's grace or God in His highest glory descide not to extend grace to them but to you because you are special? Indeed, we can b grateful for His protection, but concerning Calamity; time, chance and unforeseen occurrence befall us all, and not because of the absence of a grace. Pleeaasssee!

am really moved but the most touching pic I've ever seen got to be d hungry boy being watched by a vulture.. I read that d photographer was so disturbed he committed suicide.. that is something!

He committed suicide because he was heavyly criticized for focusing on taking a photo rather than helping the crawling Anty starving girl whose fate was never known

this is the best thread i have seen this year on nl. so touching.... it is really thought provoking....

It wasn't entirely his fault. At the time, he (as a journalist) was bound by laws not to interfere with situations like this though he could have challenged it.
