One man’s act of kindness for an elderly grocery store shopper warms hearts. The loving and caring act was captured on camera as the man helped the older shopper transfer his items from one cart to another. Watch the short but powerful video to see the unexpected act of kindness.

This world is often a cold, cruel and uncaring place. Spend enough time in public and around people today, and it would be easy to think that everyone is just out for themselves. Everywhere we look, from the news to our workplaces and the government, this self-centered, dog-eat-dog mentality is on display. Who cares what happens to someone else if I get mine, right?

Well, it turns out that not everyone is just out for themselves. Some people unexpectedly lend a helping hand when they see someone in need. A clip posted on social media proves this.

The video, which the man’s wife captured, shows one man helping an elderly gentleman in the grocery store. The younger man is spotted carefully taking items from the man’s motorized cart into a second cart. They can also be heard conversing and laughing as he does this.

The text that appears in the middle of the screen, explains the situation and what led to the sweet and heartwarming scene.

“I love my husband,” the text reads. “A man’s buggy died in the middle of getting his groceries. My husband ran to get him a new one.”

Showing someone kindness doesn’t require talent or a special skill. It just involves spotting a need and having concern for the well-being of someone else and then acting in a way that fulfills their need. It really is that easy to be kind and show compassion. Everyone can be kind, and this world can never have too much kindness.
