kindness makes a big impact to everything, even the person that is robbing you

Before I start, I've tried to check the veracity of this story, and it seems to be legit... I'm sure it will surprise everyone who knows me to discover that I think this is a heart-warming story, and that not everyone who commits a crime deserves to be put to death - some people do things out of desperation (In The Ghetto just flashed through my head) and deserve a break. And who knows - maybe the kid will turn over a new leaf... .

From the page: ""I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It's as simple as it gets in this complicated world."" This reminds me of the story of the Hungarian Jew in the deep South... I'll see if I can find that TED talk to post here. I think we all need a few more of these stories -- and a few less demonstrating cruelty and ignorance.

Wow...what a guy. I'm sure the treatment he gave his would-be mugger made a HUGE impact on that young man's life.

From the page: "Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner. But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn." I'd like to give this guy a hug.

sometimes you can make a difference and live to tell about it.

A great story about what going the extra mile _really_ means.
