We often watch movies to step away from real life, but sometimes reality crafts stories so mind-blowing that they could easily serve as the plotlines of Hollywood blockbusters. From tales of resilience against all odds to extraordinary twists of fate, the real world constantly delivers us stories that defy all logical explanations. In this article, we delve into a selection of such real-life stories where the boundaries between reality and fiction blur.
#1: A Helping Hand
This surprising encounter between an orangutan and a man attracted a lot of attention and warmed the hearts of people around the world and for good reason. It’s not every day that you see an ape reaching out and trying to help a human that he perceives to be in danger. However, despite the kind and surprising gesture, that wasn’t the situation at all.
It was the other way around; the man was trying to help the apes by clearing the pond of snakes. Our society is going through trying times where we could use these reminders to be kind and help those around us. Not to sound too poetic, but it looks like we have a lot to learn from this orangutan and other wild creatures.
