Wow. Did anybody not cry watching this?

I saw this first several years ago. Amazing story, except it isn’t just a story, it’s real.

It is sadly worth noting that Winton died in 2015.

God I loved stumbling across that clip way back; and discovering that he was still alive was the cherry on top. Still good to watch now and then as a cleanser.

I bet Trump would not only not cry, but would even get annoyed at someone so obviously and effortlessly outclassing him.
What Winton did was exceptional in some ways, and kind of mundane in others. It’s instructive to all of us I think that it reinforces that each of us can, if we choose, make the lives of people around us better if we choose to do so. In a world where big horrible things outside our direct control seem to be prevailing, it might be the only effective way of both resisting the darkness and maintaining personal equilibrium.

He was 106, so perhaps not that sad.

Sad, but not tragic is how I phrase those sorts of deaths.

How could anyone not Trump not cry?

Fixed. I don’t know what happened, other than the old link stopped working and there’s a new one. Apologies from the management.
