Despite our hopes and prayers for 2020, this year is proving to be quite merciless in the soul-crushing department. With every day bringing us a seemingly inexhaustible supply of depressing news, it's easy to feel as though the world is literally going up in flames. Especially since the times are such that there isn't much we can do to change things for the better, morales are running low and we could all use a quick reminder that there is still some good left in this grim world of ours. A refresher, if you will, of a few of the countless instances when life wasn't so bad.

Here are 25 of our favorite "maybe life's not that bad after all" moments from over the years:
