This 3 minute commercial is just wonderful

This was getting passed around on Facebook. It is simply beautiful and illustrates the power of helping one another. Makes me so grateful for the people who have helped me....including the wonderful people here I am just now getting to know.

I almost cried. What a beautiful message. Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us!! I agree with Gawker, that commerical really does put some Hollywood movies to shame. Saw one the other day that was being aired on TV, supposed to be serious and heartwrenching...all I felt was the pain of some pretty good actors trying to make something out of terrible screenwriting. Yet this brief commercial honestly made me tear up. With no words I could understand I still felt everything -- the fear and pain, and the pure-heartedness that was passed from one person to another.....just, wow.

 

I watched this and the one linked further in the thread, and I did cry. I find I'm quite vulnerable to things like this. A while back someone said I'd get over it when I healed, as if it were a sentimental indulgence. I disagree. I'm a soft-hearted girl easily moved by kindness. I love it when people really see one another and respond to that impulse.

 

So glad you gals liked this. It made me bawl. It reminds me that it really is what life is all about...helping out one another. If one hurts...we all hurt.

 

Thanks for sharing this MontanaMom. I teared up....no repressed emotions this time.

 

Walt posted a thread in the general discussion forum that's very relevant to this - The Kindness of Others ... worth a look (in my opinion)

 

Yes! I did see that, Becca...wonderful thoughts.
