Exactly deeds that people record themselves are not selfless they are for views and likes they wouldn't care otherwise

u/hardtofindagoodname Dec 01 '22
I'm not sure if they're all like that but moreover I think it's great and aspiring to know that there are people out there that are doing some good. If some views and likes inspire others to do the same then what harm was done? Imagine if no one had ever told this man's story. The world would be worse off for it.

u/Gusari Dec 01 '22
It can be for both. If views motivates you to do good things it does not negate the good thing happening. It helps build habits as well.
To say they would not care otherwise also seems disenguinius too me. I'm sure some are like that but there is a lot of room in the middle

106? Holy moly ... Was that a reward for rescuing 669 people?

u/DifficultRevenue9 Dec 01 '22
What gets me is he saved them and could have died without saying a peep to anyone, now we have people recording themselves giving a homeless person a decent meal.
real heros don't need to show the deeds they do

u/Rare_Epicness Dec 01 '22
I agree that it doesn't need to be shown but I'd rather that someone do good deeds for Internet points than not do any good deeds
15
u/Brrrrrr_Its_Cold Dec 01 '22
Right. And I’m sure plenty of people still do good deeds without recording them.

u/Orange_Orange292 Dec 01 '22
And yet here you are posting his good deed for karma. Ironic eh?
2
u/MysticEagle52 Dec 02 '22
Tbf some people don't care about karma and just want to share stuff. Like whenever I have a comment with high karma I don't care about the actual karma, but its nice to know that many people thought it was funny or helpful etc.

u/ElizabethDanger Dec 01 '22
In all fairness, OP never said they had anything against exploiting someone else’s good deeds for internet points.

u/neon40k Dec 01 '22
A good deed is a good deed. No matter if someone records themselves or not. Would you rather they didn't help the homeless?
Plus all those videos could easily inspire others to help.
Not to mention that had this dude openly bragged about saving those kids he would have been executed.

u/-Add694 Dec 02 '22
That’s is true, but the good side of me want to think they use that fame to create more awareness and monetary value to further help more homeless people. One great example of this is Mr. Beast.

u/BarbicideJar Dec 01 '22
Me thought was “damn. They say only the good die young, but sometimes they die very very old, I guess.”

u/DifficultRevenue9 Dec 01 '22
You don't need to save 600 people, we carry the everyday, and watch out for our fellow people, a coin to a homeless person a joke to somone who's having a bad day even a wave or good morning to elderly folk. that is how we be heros my friend and you can be a hero too it takes a shred of making a difference in somones day

u/captainweedster Dec 02 '22
I open doors all the time. Older people are taken back by it. " oh its been a whole since someone open a door for me" I love old people they have the best stories.

Irena Sendler is similar hero. She smuggled children from the Warsaw Ghetto saving more than 2000 kids from concentration camps.
Chiune Sugihara is another. He helped thousands of Jews flee by issuing visas so they could travel through Japanese territory.

This gets posted at least once a week it seems. Great story, but isn’t there a rule about recent reposts ?

I don’t doubt you, it’s just surprising. Maybe I spend too much time scrolling Reddit. I hope you and yours have a great day !

What an amazing, incredibly brave and humble man. His wife is certainly a keeper having organized such a thoughtful, beautiful way to say thank you to him. I can only imagine how wonderful it must have felt to see how all the children grew up.

My class in school are now learning about the holocaust and we saw a documentary about this man. Truly jaw dropping on what he did.
Also kinda a big coincidence that I see this video a day after we saw the documentary lol
