30 Of The Most Powerful Images Ever
A picture is w orth a thousand w ords, but not all pictures are c reated equal. The pictures w e usually feature on
Bored Panda can be cute, beautiful, f unny, or enchanting, but these pictures are pow erful. They are gripping and
unforgettable because of the volumes they speak about the human condition about some of the best and w orst
moments of contemporary human existence.
We should w arn our readers that some of these pictures may upset them, w hile others may f ill them w ith joy. But
thats precisely because these images ref lect some of the best and w orst parts of the human experience and w orld
events. Our post of must-see photos from the past described our history w hile these photos, for the most part,
describe our present our suffering and our triumphs, our perseverance and our failures, our compassion and our
hatred, our intelligence and our stupidity.
Some of these photographs may mean more to some of our readers than to others. But hopefully, they w ill remind us
all that the world can alw ays use a little bit more love, tolerance, compassion and understanding.
P.S: w e alw ays try our best to credit each and every photographer, but sometimes its impossible to track some of
them. Please leave a comment if you know the missing authors.
