Oh my goodness. That broke my heart. It kills me to see people on the streets and to imagine what their lives must be like. Being blind and on the streets... depressing. I wish we lived in a world where bad things didn't happen.

The video is astonishing. The change in words to say the least is very touching.

In such a moving video I'm saddend to say I think it also points out a bad aspect of humanity. Why are we so incapable of using logic to elicit the same power as words have? Potentially were too jaded / incompassionate to use logic to deduce any other message than pity me in these scenarios.

This video just shows how words can change the perception of people in a good way. Sadly words can also change an innocent statement into a negative one. Geat video!

It’s just astonishing how the same comment worded differently can change the way people react to something that ability is one of the reasons I am taking this class. This is also a good representation of how our words and how we convey them can change the outcome of a situation.

There is a deep moral value message to this. The blind bum having a pity party is our youth. Blind and reaching for help, only a few chip in with petty cash but only you can make the big money and rescure yourself. Astounding message, my life has changed, im going to church first thing in the morning.

This video definitely shows how words could make such an impact. Such a simple thing as before the woman wrote the saying, people were just tossing the coins and after they were bending down to place it rather then showing it. The people had more sympathy along with respect in my eyes after that woman wrote the saying.

Its amazing how just a change in words can make such a differnce in the outcomes. Sometimes makes you feel that you need to think twice about things you say so that the person you are trying to get your message across understands it clearly.

This really moved me. The women didn’t even give the man money but helped him so much by taking some time, changing a few words around on his sign, and let everyone else give their money to him. This also shows how time is greater than money in most situations than not.. This is perfect for this time of year. Give your time, not your money to the ones you love. It ends up meaning so much more in the long run.
