Of all of the changes the Internet has made, the impact of social media is probably the largest. Not only do we get to stay in contact with friends and family members from far away, we also get to see random acts of kindness performed by complete strangers. If you have lost your faith in humanity, this story will help restore it.
This image was captured by Redd Thomas while he was waiting for a train in Atlanta. He posted it on Facebook and thanks to the ability to share, many individuals were able to see what took place.
Redd was standing nearby to a young man who was sitting on a bench and having a problem tying his tie. He overheard a conversation that he posted on Facebook. When an older woman noticed that the man had a problem with his tie, she asked her husband to help. Redd wrote: “The older gentleman moved without hesitation [almost a reflex response] and gave him a step-by-step tutorial.”
Stepping in to help would have been kind enough but he took it a step further. He stood there and watched to make sure that the man could tie his tie properly. Redd was able to move in close enough to grab this candid photo before he jumped on a train. In this picture, you can see the man smiling as he helps the younger gentlemen with his tie.
Redd was touched by witnessing this random act of kindness and concluded his Facebook post with the simple words, “I LOVE THIS!.”
A little kindness can go a long way. When you see the Facebook post in action, it has been viewed by almost 1 million people!
