During this, Jewish people around the world celebrate by retelling the biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt — including the 10 plagues that God inflicted on the Ancient Egyptians. The story goes that after Pharaoh refused Moses’ entreaties to let the Israelite slaves go free, God sent 10 plagues to put pressure on the Egyptian ruler....

My husband and I have a tradition of creating an unconventional Christmas tree every year. Do you remember our DIY Christmas tree from last year on Bored Panda? This year we used mirrors and reclaimed wood to create a futuristic-looking tree. As this decade comes to an end you can say we’ve done a lot of “reflecting”! With the lights on in the room it’s very plain and reflective, but with the lights off and tree lights on the look changes entirely....

We travel a lot with my boyfriend. On one of our trips we found a beautiful place and decided to take photos from the series “follow me.” While we photographed a girl came up to us and asked my boyfriend to take a “follow me” picture too, only with her in it.

There’s a beautiful saying – “Out of difficulties grow miracles”. And probably most would agree. After all, the greatest sense of gratitude and accomplishment comes after you really try hard for something, whether that would be a tricky dance move, a nerve-racking exam or a difficult period in life. Of course, some have it harder than others and this mom, Erika Hurt, is a perfect example of that. After overdosing in a car a few years ago, she made a terrific recovery and is now a happy woman enjoying life with her son to the fullest....

I am pretty sure the unwritten (maybe written in some ‘how to keep you friends’ guide) rule that states you can’t date your friend’s ex-partner is very well known to everybody. Well, technically you can, but most probably you will need to choose between dating that person or keeping your friend – it’s almost never possible to have them both. A similar situation was shared by one Reddit user whose best friend started dating his ex-girlfriend , which led to him setting boundaries and growing apart....

Movie producer Carol Baum took a dig at rising Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney ’s acting skills and her physique, asking a class of film students why the 26-year-old actress was considered “hot.” The show-biz veteran’s rants have since been denounced as “internalized misogyny.” Carol was speaking with the New York Times film critic Janet Maslin in front of an audience of fans following a screening of her 1988 film Dead Ringers starring Jeremy Irons....

Cheating is never okay in a relationship, even if it’s all just emotional. Some people who engage in infidelity like this also get defensive when they’re confronted about it, no matter how much their actions have hurt the other person. This is what a controlling man did when his young daughter found his secret messages to other women. She informed her mother about it, which led to her dad going ballistic....

Everyone benefits from compassion in their lives, yup, even lawyers. Compassion is what makes life a bit more bearable, because being good and kind to others brings back the feelings triple-fold. Well, supposedly, but if you don’t believe in empathy, you’ve probably lost your faith in humanity as a whole. And if that’s the case, try and read these compassion quotes - they might just restore the equilibrium. And if you do believe in kindness wholeheartedly, then read these empathy quotes anyway, as they might motivate you to keep doing what you are already doing!...

When I was five, I sincerely believed in Santa and the Tooth Fairy, at seventeen - that at least someone in this world could stop Michael Jordan on his way to the sixth ring, at thirty - that the ratings of songs on streaming services reflect their true popularity. As Thorin Oakenshield said, “I’ve never been so wrong in all my life…” Well, that’s the thing about growing up and gaining what people usually call ‘wisdom’ - that over the years, we change our views on things, and what we believed with all the fervor of a neophyte in our youth seems ridiculous years later....

Children are a reflection of their parents and quickly inculcate everything that they are taught. Also, they can be super manipulative as they know which strings to pull to get their mothers and fathers to comply. Obviously, the adults need to be smart enough to know this. This mom, on the other hand, did everything her 3-year-old wanted whenever she threw a tantrum. The kid’s cousin was babysitting her and refused to give in as easily....

Each time a 27-year-old wide receiver for the Houston Texans, DeAndre Hopkins, scores a touchdown in home games, he proudly hands the ball to his biggest fan in the crowd. It’s not just any fan. It’s his mother Sabrina Greenlee, who despite being blind and having never been able to see her son play professionally, attends every game and always takes the same seat in the end zone.

Winning a vacation should be a happy event. Most of us would daydream about beach sunsets, buffet lines, and maybe even catching up on sleep without someone asking where the remote is. But when family’s involved, even a trip meant for rest can turn into the next chapter in a long-running drama.

Faced with the decision of who to bring, she chose peace over obligation and took a friend instead of her sister and her young kids....

After growing campaigns against elephant rides, there’s finally some good news. Cambodia is making a difference by deciding to ban elephant rides at its iconic tourist attraction, Angkor Wat, starting in 2020. The outrage started back in 2016 when news emerged of an elephant who collapsed and died from exhaustion after being mercilessly used as a ‘transportation’ for tourists. (Facebook cover image: travelinlibrarian ) In 2018, after another animal died from exhaustion, in under 48 hours over 14,000 people signed the petition to end this cruel practice....

The best part about this surreal photography project is that it was created with absolutely no Photoshop!...
