You never know when something you casually see out in the world might interest millions of people and encourage you to take action.

We witness the wonders of the world every single day, in many little things. We are witnessing babies growing up, families coming together, and love forming on a daily basis, but we don't really do anything about it.

With social media, people take pleasure in sharing with others in these little moments of life that they think might be unique or might be of value to others. 

The person who posted the video below never thought that so many people would become so invested in the little duck that likes to hang around in a small puddle outside their home. All they did was post a 10-second clip of a duck standing inside a dried-up puddle, and the internet simply exploded. People could not stomach the sight of a sad little duck who couldn't understand where all the water in his favorite puddle went, and all they wanted was to see the sweet baby swimming happily again.

Luckily, it didn't take long before rain came, and the duck, and millions of people around the world, got what they wished for. The puddle filled up again, and the original poster was quick to share an update, this time showing the duckling happily swimming in his pond. Naturally, this only inspired more updates and more people to congratulate both the duck and its devoted hoomans on the journey they went on.
