Man on train notices little boy keeps staring at his phone screen and did the sweetest thing to make his day
It’s the small things in life that make it whole and worth living, and as soon as we figure that out, we’ll learn true happiness.
This story from the New York subway makes us reconsider the way we treat all those people that we come across every single day, and ponder how our behavior towards someone can affect their day, or even life.
Though we do not know the names of both people, we do know that the video is sure to make you smile!
While riding on the subway, the older man noticed that a young boy was watching him play a game on his phone. It was clear that he was fascinated by what he saw. Most of us who love playing games on our phones know how addictive it can be to cross levels and win awards. The little boy on the subway probably wanted to play the game as well but did not have a phone due to how young he was.
The smallest things can make the biggest difference, and this was true for the little boy who yearned to play the game when the older man, without any thought, handed the phone over to him.
Instead of reacting impulsively, the man simply shares the game he’s been playing with the kid. Another commuter had been watching the whole thing and captured it on a camera.
You’ll likely witness epic things, whether you want it or not. Davis was lucky to see a beautiful encounter.
Every once and a while, the kid looks at the phone, trying to keep up with what’s going on. The man has earphones, and he doesn’t notice the boy at first.
After a while, the man sees the boy looking at his phone screen.
Interestingly, both of them share a smile as soon as their eyes meet.
The two don’t speak at all, but they managed to find a way to communicate.
Because the boy displays great enthusiasm for the mobile phone, the man unplugs his earphones and gives the phone to the boy.
“I almost cried,” wrote Davis on her Facebook page.
The phone brought happiness to three persons, and all in one day. It must have been one special game on that phone.
As soon as he takes the phone, the boy continues the game.
Just take a look at how cute the boy is. He’s sitting calmly with his hands crossed, looking at the phone.
The video proves that a bit of kindness can go a long way. We need more people like this man.
In fact, we need to be this man who selflessly shared the phone with an unknown kid.
It’s not about the phone; it’s about caring and sharing. The world is a much better place than we think, and this man proves it.
Judging by how good he’s with kids, the man is probably an educator.
The video is a little over a minute long but has proved to be a timeless piece that will remain a favorite among netizens. We believe it may have become so popular because it was something that could remind all viewers that small acts of kindness can have a big difference.
Even if something is temporary, the memories they provide don’t have to be. The little boy is sure to remember this moment for years to come, and will probably think fondly of this man for a long time.
An act of kindness always goes a long way.
We are sure there are other people out there who’d do the same thing, but unfortunately not every good deed is caught on tape.
Luckily, those that are, serve good example to each of us about how things should be done.
At the end of the day, life is all about making others happy.
We hope this video will inspire each of us to do good to others whenever possible. The guy not only made the little boy’s ride in the subway more fun, but he taught him that humanity is still alive.
