#Humanity #Kindness #Gratitude
The purpose of posting this here is to help my #Linkedin friends and colleagues kick off the week with a smile.
This #video of a caregiver making sure his special needs friend with Down’s Syndrome did not get too close to a member of the Royal Guard is simply beautiful.
The King’s Guard actions received praise from his superiors and millions of folks on line who appreciated his simple act of kindness.
“The young Trooper exemplifies all that is good in the British Army, and while only a small step to the side, in my opinion, he showed the humanity we should all aspire to,” a statement read.
There are lots of #videos of people being obtuse or getting too close to the guards and creating issues. In this case however, Ibrahim, and his friend Mike, wanted their photo taken with the Trooper of the Blues and Royals but were keen to ensure they were respectful around the soldier.
Mr van Erp, the man seen with Ibrahim, has worked with the 17-year-old and his family for a decade.
I honestly had a lump in my throat when I watched this, it is a simple act of kindness on behalf of the Guard and reminds us of our common humanity.
Respect to all three people who show that respect is truly a two way street.
With so much uncertainty and so many online influences and media operators profiting from chaos, disorder, and polarizing every issue to absurd extremes to attract clicks, it's reassuring to see that kindness and respect still have a place in people's hearts.
On that note, make your world a little better today by sharing this, and carrying out a similar act of kindness in your little corner of the world.
Have a great week.
