It inspires me when someone does something courageous or worthy of praise, and I'm a little low on inspiration right now where humans are concerned.
It also helps me to feel better about myself when I think of something I've done that I'm proud of or faced something scary, so maybe it will help someone else to remember and write about something they've done that was courageous or that they were proud of, no matter how small or big. It's not a comparison competition, it's all impressive.
Like, I once took part in helping someone salvage their belongings after a house fire and throw out the unsalvageable. I came across a, um, marital aid, and threw it in the trash without saying anything so they wouldn't be embarrassed. Maybe that's just basic decency, but I felt proud of it, even more so than taking part in the grunt work to help out a fellow human. I'd feel good hearing about someone else doing something out of basic compassion, and I hope others will share. G-rated stuff is most welcome.
