There Are Good People

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

I live in NYC and was watching my local news this morning. There was a man on a Brooklyn train sitting without a shirt shivering. A man gives him the shirt off his back and helps him put it on (he had just a tank on after). The man also gave the shivering man his hat. This was all caught on video and has gotten millions of hits. The guy taking the video heard the man ask if the shivering man wanted to go to the hospital, he had to get off at his stop and doesn't know what happened. Seeing the video almost made me cry. It is good to see that people have compassion and give a helping hand to those in need. Different circumstances that could be anyone of us.

I think we hear more bad than good.

There are many wonderful people in this world. It's too bad we don't celebrate them more often

I believe there is more of this than most of us think. Turn on or read the news, how often do you see/hear of these types of stories? With TV it is ratings, with written media it is sales. Good people/good stories just don't seem to be what media thinks sells their products.

Heartwarming for sure to see stories such as this one, they just don't get the attention they deserve. Thank you for sharing this story here. Right now this world needs more of this.

That was an extraordinatry act of kindness but we need to keep things in perspective and open our eyes. There is goodness and kindness and generosity all around us. Good people and good actions greatly outnumber the bad; if you focus only on the negative, you don't see it.

I agree. Especially about the clowns we have as media representatives who have turned honest and researched news, into their personal agendas and self glorifying worship only because they want to be television celebrities. They are grossly overpaid, puppets for the controlling few, untalented, and liars. Don't they have a sense of right and wrong? Aren't they embarassed to be who they are? My take.

I had to watch this again. It is heartbreaking to me, this poor man probably is homeless and maybe rides the train to keep out of the elements. He probably gets ignored too many times and this was a true act of kindness. He wipes a tear from his eye, truly heartbreaking.

I happen to catch the same news report.

What a heartwarming lesson.

May all good come to both men.

That man or anyone for that matter in that kind of need in this country is telling of where this country is headed. I believe most people don't want to get involved, they believe it's the persons fault that they are in that situation. It does take a village to see that everyone has what they need regardless of their situation.
