Why We Crave Emotional Moments
Human brains love a good story because it helps us make sense of the world. When a news article shows a family reuniting after a disaster, or an athlete overcomes a career‑threatening injury, we instantly feel part of that journey. Those moments give us a break from routine, remind us we’re not alone, and often push us to act – whether that’s donating, sharing, or just checking in on a friend.
Research shows that sharing emotional content boosts engagement by up to 70 %. That’s why our tag pulls together everything from a tragic earthquake in Afghanistan to a stunning comeback on the football pitch. Each piece is chosen for its ability to strike a chord and spark conversation.
