This Is How It Should Be
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
We don't bow in our culture, but I think I would bow to this man if I met him. He deserves it. I think I would be able to count him as a friend if I could know him personally. But in a way, I find this video sad as well. I wish that things like what this man did for a stranger were so common that no one would think it worthwhile to post, let alone it going viral. I wish that every one of us got up in the morning wondering who they might help today. Even if it was for someone we don't necessarily like. This man, as far as we can know him through a single video, is worth honoring. So is anyone who puts another ahead of themselves.

Sorry, I don't know how to embed a video. Worth checking out, though.
Drakkonis, the only video that I could find of the man pushing the woman in her wheelchair is not able to be shared other than to social media. However, I did get a copy from the video showing the man pushing the woman in her wheelchair for those who have not yet seen the video. And here is the link to the video.
Thank you
You're very welcome. (smile)
Here you go. As far as I can tell this is the original video, though I couldn't get the one on the Washington Post page to play for some reason.
Young Man Pushes Disabled Woman Over A Mile To Her Home Because Her Battery Died
How were you able to get the video to embed? When I tried to get one that is not a YouTube, which is only words describing what happened over a static picture. I tried to get the video to get the URL to embed it, but, the only way to share it was in social media. How did you get this one to work to embed?
Thank you for getting it to work and sharing it here.
Morning Raven Wing.
I just went to the Washington Post link that Drakkonis provided, found and copied the name of the young man in the story. Then went to YouTube.com and did a search for "Bilal Quintyne".
The name search came up with several pieces of film to chose from but I think the 3rd one I tried is the original that went viral and, of course, YouTube videos are easy to embed.
I haven't learned to post any other kinds of video yet.

Happy to help. (smile)
Thanks for the effort : )
I saw this story earlier today. What I found sad was that only one person stopped to help her back into her wheelchair.
Kudo's to this man for what he did. We could sure could use more like him.
Good article.
See, this is what Jesus was talking about in the Good Samaritan.
Agreed! However, when my Father was in his wheelchair when he had to go out to Dr appts, to the store, or out to dinner, there were always those who would take a moment to hold a door, help him through a door, or help him in or out of the car. We lived in Santee CA at the time, which is a small city just east of San Diego proper. Those that offered to help varied in age and gender, and it really helped to renew my faith in the willingness of some people to help their fellow man in need. There are those like that still out there, and even if their numbers are small, there is hope that their numbers will grow and not fade away.
And the person who helped the woman in need of help when others just passed her by, is proof that there are still active seeds out there.
Nice guy. He went above and beyond.
Though I had to laugh at the giftcard for Cheesecake Factory.
He needed the calories after all that work he did.
This is a very nice man.
