Video from my Dad

My dad sent me this video this morning just cuz he found it touching. I also liked it, and thought it was cool that my dad knows how to e-mail me videos, so I thought I would pass it along (which is kinda the point of the video anyway). Enjoy!

That obviously took place down south. The New York city vid would be the exact opposite.

I saw this commercial on TV. I liked it the first time I saw it. Great that we can share it. I'm now sending to my Mom :)

That's awesome. I'd switch to Liberty Mutual just for that. That's what it's all about...

Great video. I just wish that acts like these were the norm rather than the exception. Everybody seems to want it, but only a very few actually live it. Hopefully one day!

Semgirl, JT: A tad negative, are we? The whole point is not focusing on what everyone else is doing right/wrong, but doing the right thing by yourself. No one is asking you to change the whole NYC, just change yourself. And always wear a smile :)

semgirl -
Let's hope it was an example of what happens everywhere.

Sarah -
They really do.

Sarak -
Pass it on...

Ezzie -
Thanks, and thanks for the link - you tossed quite a few hits over here.

jt -
Do it! Live it!

David and Jack -
Thanks

Ayelet -
Absolutely. I think the point of the commercial is that, we might not even see these little kindnesses happening, but they make a difference. So we should pass them on.

This reminds me of an e-bay commercial from a few years ago. It likewise shows people doing random acts of goodness - picking up litter, etc. The point being that e-bay is entirely premised on the belief that people are generally good. I can't find that commercial on Youtube, but I did find this one:

nice video. thanks.

I read an article once describing the same phenomenon - the ripple effect of one simple act of kindness, such as getting in a taxi and saying good morning to the driver with a smile, then he yields a right of way to someone who then, etc...
