To a Stranger about to Jump: "Do you want to come on this side of the guardrail?"

1. Good for him for being so kind. He probably saved her life. nt

[Moostache]

2. These kinds of acts of kindness are too frequently ignored in today's media.

Thanks for sharing this story I would have otherwise missed.

[JackInGreen]

3. I remember

seeing this a while back.
Brilliant example of humanity at it's best, I guess it's a morning for crying.

[turbinetree]

4. That is really great...........................

with that question--------------"do you want to come on this side of the guardrail"

That is what compassion is all about---------with those words

This driver deserves a lot of compassion and also the person that wanted to do what they were about to do, and those riders clapping are just a small part of what he and she deserves

[GreatGazoo]

6. Just a bus driver helping people on their journey through this life.

Love his calm voice and attitude -- "meant to be".

[turbinetree]

8. And his COMPASSION

..............just like a bus driver always looking out for the other person

5. K & R!!!

9. This should be mandatory viewing for cops every day before they go out on patrol. n/t

[Faryn Balyncd]

19. Absolutely! Perhaps this man should be hired to TRAIN cops!

10. It's these kind of acts that should qualify you for leadership roles.

[SmittynMo]

14. I agree, but

Every leader I worked for (in 45 years) was a true prick. Corporate America and main stream politics want pricks in charge to increase their profits.

IE: There's no crying (or emotions) in baseball(or Corporate America). If you think about it, it's really sad and it shouldn't be that way.

This guy showed us what reality and human compassion is all about. It certainly moved me.

11. Wonder about her situation...

It is possible that this act may change her outlook on life... But I wonder what situation led her to this. Will she do it again, tomorrow? Will anybody ever find out?

[Enthusiast]

12. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Sheepshank]

13. OMGosh...tears

and he sat down with her and showed her true compassion

[heaven05]

15. great person

hope after he get's off work and is driving home, he doesn't forget a traffic rule or something and end up dead. Distinct possibility in this society. Great guy. Like he said, "meant to be there" at that time, to help another hurting human being.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

16. And he expected nothing in return.

But I believe he will be blessed greatly for his humanity. Such a sweet soul.

17. I did offer prayers to a stranger

last month but I'd rather not talk about it. friends of friends We are all strangers. That shouldn't stop us from helping others. Good for him.
