As grown-ups, we have many things to handle – taking care of our homes, dealing with work stress, and maybe raising kids. With age, we gain knowledge and wisdom about life’s challenges. Sometimes, we think we know it all and there’s nothing new to learn.
But that’s not true. There’s a story from an elementary school that proves we can still learn from kids. Watch how children interact, and you’ll see they don’t judge people. They appreciate small things and have a pure sense of wonder.
Children act on their feelings and instincts. They see the world in a different way. As adults, we forget we were once innocent like them. This viral video from a school in Mexico is a great reminder of the kindness in humanity.
In the video, a young boy with Down syndrome comforts his classmate with autism. The autistic boy is upset, and the kind boy rushes to help, wiping away his tears. Seeing his friend still crying, the compassionate boy gives him a warm hug, patting his back. By the end, the upset boy seems calmer, all thanks to his caring friend.
The video has 21 million views on Facebook, showing that a simple act of kindness between two kids can be powerful. This elementary school boy teaches us that being kind doesn’t require much, but it can do wonders for someone.
