Heart Touching And Powerful Photographs That Shocked The World!

A picture is worth a thousand words, but not all pictures are created equal. The pictures we usually feature here can be cute, beautiful, funny, or enchanting, but these pictures are powerful. They are gripping and unforgettable because of the volumes they speak about the human condition – about some of the best and worst moments of contemporary human existence.
EDIT: This post was a collection of 26 photographs and later 12 new pictures were added, because they surely deserve to be here.

  5. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright
    infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I've either
    created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to
    help stop content from being stolen? I'd truly appreciate it.

  9. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any
    methods to stop hackers?
