Sleeping Stranger Subway Picture On Q Train Defines Empathy And Is A Lesson In Being Good
This man has it.
When Isaac Theil let a sleepy stranger take a little catnap on his
shoulder, it was because "I simply remembered the times my own head would bop on someone’s shoulder because I was so tired after a long day," he recounted to Tova Ross of Tablet Magazine.
Another subway rider was so struck by Theil's nonchalant empathy that
he snapped a picture and put it on Reddit, from which it was then posted
to Facebook by Charidy.
Redditor Braffination wrote, "Heading
home on the Q train yesterday when this young black guy nods off on the
shoulder of a Jewish man. The man doesn't move a muscle, just lets him
stay there. After a minute, I asked the man if he wanted me to wake the
kid up, but he shook his head and responded, 'He must have had a long
day, let him sleep. We've all been there, right?'"
Theil
himself has been completely surprised at the attention he's received for
his small act of kindness, as the photo has been shared over 20,000
times on Facebook.

Our Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s visit to a Buddhist Temple in Kyoto is costing taxpayers nearly $80,000 for rental cars ALONE! According to a government contract, that was made by our FORMER President.
Mrs. Obama, who is travelling to Japan and Cambodia for a girls’ education initiative, will arrive in Kyoto, Japan, on Friday.
According to the White House press office, “The First Lady will travel to Kyoto on March 20 and visit the Kiyomizu-Dera Buddhist Temple and the Fushimi Inari Shinto Shrine. She will also greet staff from the U.S. Consulate in Osaka.”
Fushimi Inari Shinto is a shrine dedicated to a god of rice. Visitors of the temple can pay to go into a pitch-black basement that symbolizes the womb of Buddah’s mother.
The temple also features the Otowa Waterfall, which has streams to cause “longevity, success at school, and a fortunate love life.”
The cost for “Rental Vehicles for Flotus in Kyoto” is $78,741, according to a contract signed last week.
Mrs. Obama is promoting “Let Girls Learn,” an initiative by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that is spending $231.6 million for education programs in Nigeria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Jordan, and Guatemala.
