45. Weeping like a baby.

If we ever doubt that one person can change lives, this video would refute that. What a beautiful man. If there ever was a crown in heaven, he would be the one to deserve it.

I have no doubt that my fellow DUers and many more are just like this man. This is why I think the human race is evolving, in spite of obvious set backs. This man was an anomaly for his place and time. I don't think this is the case anymore. We hear about the worst of humanity on the news, because that is what sells, but the best of humanity is still out there, working every day to ensure their fellow human beings don't suffer. We have a long way to go, but look at how far we've come.
