35 Random Acts of Kindness That Will Make You Cry !

A lot of these made me cry but I really lost it at the guy putting his hand on the rail of the bench so the guy infront could pass out comfortably. Its such a act of love for another person. The guy doesnt know what’s happening in his life and for him to just do this one thing for him to make sure he can get a few relaxing moments by putting his hand there shows a lot about his character. I wish them both every greatness.

Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800.

 

 Research suggests that white slavery was a more common phenomenon than previously understood, particularly between the 16th and 18th centuries in the Mediterranean and Barbary Coast regions. Studies indicate that over a million European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa during this period, a number significantly higher than previous estimates. 

Elaboration:

• Barbary Slave Trade:

  The Barbary corsairs, based in North African coastal cities like Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli, were known for raiding European ships and coastal towns to capture and enslave people. 
• Scope of Enslavement:

  Professor Robert Davis' research, published in his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters," estimates that between 1530 and 1780, over a million Europeans were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa. Some estimates suggest this number could have reached 1.25 million. 
• Consequences of Slavery:

  These enslaved Europeans faced harsh conditions, similar to those endured by African slaves in the transatlantic slave trade. They were often forced into labor, including galley rowing, and some were subjected to conversion to Islam. 
• Beyond North Africa:

  While the Barbary slave trade is well-documented, it's important to remember that slavery involving Europeans also occurred in other regions, including the Arab slave trade and the Ottoman Empire.

  When someone hurts you, does you wrong, if you keep thinking about it, then you’re letting them continue to hurt you. Don’t give them your power. You have to let it go. Give it to God.

  God has given us different personalities, different gifts, different temperaments. Sometimes, we’re fighting who we are by trying to be like someone else. You have to accept who God has made you to be.

 You have to realize God is supernatural. The good news is He’s not having a down year. No, God owns it all. You are connected to a supply line that will never run dry. The economy may go up or down, but that’s not your source. God is your source.

 Dear Younger Ladies...take notes!!!!

So I need to breakdown the "Friend Code" for some of you, because clearly there's too many girls going missing or getting killed.

This is how we "Old Schoolers" roll.

•Code 1: " We leave together... We stay together.... We come back together. NO you’re not leaving with some RANDOM dude & NO I'm not leaving you at the party by yourself!

• Code 2 " Both of us can't be sh*t face drunk (neither of you should) , at least one person needs to be alert & aware of our surroundings!

•Code 3 " If you got to go to the bathroom or outside ." WE ARE ALL GOING TO THE DAMN BATHROOM AND OUTSIDE!!" Period!

•Code 4 " We don't accept drinks from strangers unless we're at the bar and watch the bartender pour".

• Code 5 " if I feel like you’re too drunk to function , we are leaving the party early". (We'll fuss about you messing up the night later)

• Code 6 " if you just so happen to go missing. I will give you a maximum of 15-30 mins to show up before I Shut the place down and we ALL are going to be looking for your ass!!! FOR REAL!!! Everybody else can call the police cause I ain't going home without you!

• Code 7 "If you're fighting it better be one on one, otherwise we are all fighting" (Hopefully this ain't jumpin off cause we are too classy and ladies)

• Code 8 and the golden rule, "The drop off person checks in or everyone who drove checks in when getting home" If we don't hear from you, we are coming to ya house

Because these generations got the Friend Code messed up! ! This is how we were raised...
