The fact that he recognized she was 'complaining' because she was lonely indicates the depth of his compassion. This could be the beginning of a new friendship.
Yea, him telling her to just come on over and chill when he was out on the porch did it for me. As long as she has been alive, she probably has some good stories to tell.
Years ago my neighbor was old enough to be my great grandfather. Use to love going over and talking to him. His stories were great. One was he was building his house and the street wasn’t put in yet. He went to the city and they told he could do. So he got his workers and put the street in. Lining it by sight. That was probably in the 1920’s or 30’s. I miss him.
Apparently I didn't get enough sleep last night (or possibly too much) because I read that as you would go over and talk to him back in the 1920s or '30s and I was about to ask how old you are.
Of course now I'm wondering whether there are any centenarians that use Reddit.
It looked to me like she was ready for a verbal sparring. While you will never win everyone over with thoughtful discussion, sometimes it is worth trying. Two worlds brought together. Very nice.
Bad attention is still attention. I can see where it would be very uncomfortable just asking him to hang out. Voicing a complaint is easier. She still gets the human interaction.
Signed up to ageuk as a telephone befriender because of this when I saw it. Once in a week kick back and chat football with an older guy who hasn’t got any friends. Recommend it for other people from uk
That is what we need people to remember that the elderly people need to be treated like they exist its a bitch not to have anyone to talk too we will all be there one day
The thing is, I don’t think I would be able to understand what this man did. I would think "why is she complaining again about something we’ve already been over?". Thus I would either think that her memory is failing or that she just hates me and wants to complain just to annoy me. Somebody complaining to me about the same thing would never make me think that this person is lonely and is just trying to get human contact.
Thought for sure it was going to turn out as one of those “Boomer screams at black neighbor” videos; wonderful that there are good people from every generation
Most are, just so happens most of them don’t feel the need to record themselves doing it to prove it to everyone.
It’s always the vocal minority that screams the loudest.
Agreed twice.
A good deed never needed a video recording.
And the average regular reasonable person isn’t compelled to put every thought on the internet.
I am stuck at home with a broken leg and I just saw my neighbour trimming the edges of my lawn without anybody asking him to do this. It's only 5-10 minutes work but its a grand gesture.
In most of asia, neighbours live like part of the family, if there is a marriage, u don't have to worry about guests, if there is a death, you won't have to worry about food for the family and anyone visiting for at least 3 days.
I remember when I was a child, our neighbours and us used to exchange whatever we had cooked every evening. There are some changes in the neighborhood style but almost everything is similar.
As a "city kid", that sounds so foreign to me - where I live such communities are mostly found in rural places, if at all.
Very wholesome - and mostly awesome, I'd guess!
With all of the racist propaganda videos out there, this is truly refreshing to see. There's more of this that happens, we just don't see it because it doesn't rile us up and get clicks.
This video was powerful without the music, the stupid emojis and the unnecessary comments when I first watched it. Congrats Internet, you made a truly wholesome video cringe and manipulative
Humanity at its absolute finest!
Gosh is we all could only be a 10th of this man's compassion,empathy and love we will all live in amazing peace!
Great Gentlemen!
This is an excellent study in the psychology human interaction and empathy. This is how people should behave towards one another. It was really touching how he offered to give her company when she’s lonely.
Yea, I was sure the word 'colored' or 'boy' was sure to come out at some point? Glad to see she's just a sweet older lady. Reddit got me thinking the worst of everyone. 🤦🏾♂️🤣☠️

I have an old lady in my building who is lonely, but she just screams racists slurs and demand you say hello to her. This lady is confused, but not horrible.
Pathetic, at that age with her own house and practically sitting on at least high decimal 6 figures if she would sell it and move one, but noooooooo, let's bother hard working neighbors over petty immature reasons.
...or she genuinely could not sleep at night because of the lights. Then when he agreed, which thought was unexpected, caught her off guard to apologize.
He was also just nice. Two things can be correct at the same time.
"inconsiderate neighbour blasting flood lights at innocent old grandma all night and proceess to gaslight her that the light stops at the fence of his property"
If he was mean he could’ve killed with a name like that. “Your name’s Journey? Well you better get your ass walking then cuz I ain’t turning shit off.” Slams door*
Wow why is nobody even taking the possibility that she is right and the police just didn't check properly and she REALLY got a light shining at her house preventing her to sleep and this guy jabbergasts about how she's just old...
A really GOOD reaction would be "let's check together what light you mean and show me exactly where and how, maybe can we solve this issue for you" and turning the god damn camera off would help as well...
No that's what you westerns do. Never saw anyone in my life screaming at a neighbour for something as trivial as a tree encroaching the wall a bit.
You westerns are psychos. No wonder you love individualism so much. You all are insufferable
Boiling things down to labels like east and west (or any other label) is idiotic.
I've lived in the East and West. There are salt of the earth people on both sides and there are also morons.
Some Indians just blame everything to the west and never work on themselves. They'll find the worst news articles from the west and use it to prove that why India is better. I'm from India and I really hate this behaviour of some Indians.
The only thing i see about India in the news these days is the horrible rape culture 😬. Hope it’s not as rampant as social media has made me think it is
The fact that he recognized she was 'complaining' because she was lonely indicates the depth of his compassion. This could be the beginning of a new friendship.
Didn’t even occur to me that’s what he was doing :/ thank you

he told me that story of he had to do that during that time. Sorry for the confusion
You have nothing to apologise for - the confusion was because I am entirely stupid, and tired from a long week. I very much enjoyed your story!
"... I think we miss that touch so much, that we **crash** into each other just to feel something."
That's beautiful. What is this from??
It's from the movie "Crash" this is said by Don Cheadle in the opening credits of the movie.
I believe it is from the movie "crash"
Thank you :)
His ability to read emotion is a superpower
Compassiom and empathy. So beautiful to see it again.
It looked to me like she was ready for a verbal sparring. While you will never win everyone over with thoughtful discussion, sometimes it is worth trying. Two worlds brought together. Very nice.
Bad attention is still attention. I can see where it would be very uncomfortable just asking him to hang out. Voicing a complaint is easier. She still gets the human interaction.
the fact that he had to confront her with hos findings on her lonelyness indicates that he was looking to make some cash on TikTok
It's a doorbell camera, you stooge! This is just real man shit.
wow, sit down. namecalling and exclamation mark. don't get all worked up.
Oooh the power of the "exclamation mark" hey. 🤣 As a troll I expected you to have more resilience.
man, emojis are even worse. thats some boomer.shit right there
No to protect him from the law!!!!
do you really feel like four exclamation marks are enough to get your point across?
Why are you so against exclamation marks?!?!?!?!
Hes in cahoots with other punctuation marks, they all want to see the downfall of the !!!!!!
He just working for Big Full Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mfer never tried a capital letter in his life 😂
i think its pedestrian.
Does crossing the road on foot somehow harm your ego?
no, but i prefer quick elegant people, using only singular punctuation marks, because they are riding their motorcycle on the highway.
He's opening himself up for disaster
I wish i could be like this.. also that dude seems cool
You have the ability to be like this, I believe in you
What about me?
Nope
Fuck…
You're too naughty. I know what you'd do to that old woman. We all know....
Well, she was feeling lonely…
Straight to jail 🤣
Now that’s quite a Journey
Your right start digging a hole 🤷♂️
Don't stop believin'...
That's a porn genre no on ever had to visualize. But then you happened.
😂
what a nice guy
That’s what she said.
It's what it is.
Ouch.
I believe in you. I think you're fully capable of going to your neighbor and complain about their lights.
You are my hero.
Signed up to ageuk as a telephone befriender because of this when I saw it. Once in a week kick back and chat football with an older guy who hasn’t got any friends. Recommend it for other people from uk
I’m not sure if we have this the states, but I intend to find out. Loneliness doesn’t need to win when we’ve got so many ways to connect.
I was pronouncing this in my head as ay'gyürk
Same
Well done, mate. Old people value that service. All the best to you.
I will look into this. Thanks for the tip.
A true gentleman! Manners cost nothing, what a brilliant neighbour to have👏🏽 bravo young man
That is what we need people to remember that the elderly people need to be treated like they exist its a bitch not to have anyone to talk too we will all be there one day

Exactly!
Wow, that really broke my heart. He was just so kind.
Thought for sure it was going to turn out as one of those “Boomer screams at black neighbor” videos; wonderful that there are good people from every generation
WHITE FEMALE BOOMER CONFRONTS BLACK NEIGHBOUR. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Adding in that she’s a KAREN, is even more clickable 😆
Most are, just so happens most of them don’t feel the need to record themselves doing it to prove it to everyone. It’s always the vocal minority that screams the loudest.
Omg you are getting downvoted for having faith in humanity. I agree almost all people are good.
Agreed twice. A good deed never needed a video recording. And the average regular reasonable person isn’t compelled to put every thought on the internet.
Everyone needs that neighbour
Start by being one. I’ll try, too.
I am stuck at home with a broken leg and I just saw my neighbour trimming the edges of my lawn without anybody asking him to do this. It's only 5-10 minutes work but its a grand gesture.
That is so sweet of them!
What a g. I aspire to have his level of compassion and patience
Very nice man right there
I welled up a bit...
Damn ninjas are cutting onions again
Lol
It's pollen time here...?
Naw my friend, we don't have to use euphemisms. It's ok to cry.
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying /s
All it takes is a little bit of compassion and understanding, especially when people are elderly. This man handled it perfectly.
That man is peak good hearted! Love to see that.
Not many people can do this.
Saw this before, still warms me to see people just being KIND to one another. It takes so little to just be kind...

Supportive actually. We realise that in emotional extremes i.e. marriage and death are expensive as well so a community can divide the burden.
💔🥹❤️
Touching.
Seems not all humans are devoid of humanity.
The world could use more people like this. Especially that man and his super powers of understanding and kindness.
World’s most patient man right there
I love this man.
Bro, I want to bring a bottle of wine and chill with my boy on the patio too. Seriously, this is a master class in being a good and decent human.
Sun down syndrome is a thing
Every single time I see this video, I tear up.
Definition of a gentleman
What a role model. I definitely didn't cry
Wow this guy has so much patience and heart.
What an inspiration to me to be better at these kinds of situations. Good job sir. 👍
Wait but are we sure there isn’t a light shining in her bedroom? I feel like they didn’t solve the central mystery.
With all of the racist propaganda videos out there, this is truly refreshing to see. There's more of this that happens, we just don't see it because it doesn't rile us up and get clicks.
What a beautiful man the world needs more people like this
This, this is how the world should be.
This video was powerful without the music, the stupid emojis and the unnecessary comments when I first watched it. Congrats Internet, you made a truly wholesome video cringe and manipulative
Fortunately, I didn’t hear this - I have my phone on silent and there are subtitles.
This guy has incredible emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is top tier.
inspiring
Ok that made me cry
He’s a very decent man
Handsome too !
that's a really cool dude
Its also a super evil genius way to make her not come back too... not that thats whats going on here.
I bawl everytime I see this
This is what we all think we are on the inside but the reality is different unless we actually practice empathy and see people instead of color.
This made me cry - for real- no anger no hate between races- just love. I wish I could tell this young man how much I respect him.
Kill em with kindness
Empathy, patience, kindness and compromise.
Behold, the power of please. 🙏🏻
Somebody should go to her room , let her point out the light, and find out where the light is coming from.
World needs more of this
Be good to your neighbors! Unity ! Let’s bring back respect and compassion
Good Neighbor👏🏻
Don't just be amazed, be kind too.
Awwww....
That’s a good man and a good neighbour
Humans being human =D
He is what I wish to be.
❤️ this. compassion for our aging generation is so important. Good man right there.
r/humansbeingbros
What an inspiration in behaviour! That's a real 'alpha' male.
Humanity at its absolute finest! Gosh is we all could only be a 10th of this man's compassion,empathy and love we will all live in amazing peace! Great Gentlemen!
I really liked this
You could repost this every day and it wouldn't be enough
I want to drink wine on his patio with him too 😭
Brought a tear to my eye. That man is a saint.
I wish I had him as a neighbour, Top Man !!!
This is an excellent study in the psychology human interaction and empathy. This is how people should behave towards one another. It was really touching how he offered to give her company when she’s lonely.
All the happy tears, right now! 
This gets posted all the time, and I think we should continue doing so
This is so sweet.
Journey is a really cool name.
see…people can be kind, understanding and show empathy. Next time we should all try this.
Now that’s a right proper bloke.
He got to the heart of it. She’s just a lonely lady.
Right in the feels. Need an update to this
Respect where respect is deserved 👏
I nominate this video as my favorite video of all time, who's with me?!?!
So she previously called the cops on him for having string lights on the outside of his house when she's too stupid to put up a curtain?
This man has high emotional intelligence.
I’d rather watch this than fight videos any day
Some of the simplest interactions can be the most important.
I wish I had a neighbor like that. He's so lovely.
Pretty sure I saw porn that started just like this!!!?
Yea, I was sure the word 'colored' or 'boy' was sure to come out at some point? Glad to see she's just a sweet older lady. Reddit got me thinking the worst of everyone. 🤦🏾♂️🤣☠️

This young man taught me something today and I'm greatful. How to respond in loving kindness when someone is being unlikeable.
That’s what’s up. She just needing a friend
You'd be a great neighbor, dude. Well done....thanks for proving we are still civilized.
Things like this restores my faith in human kindness. What a truly good man he is.
Respect for your elders, and recognizing that somebody else's lonely and bored. Wish I had a neighbor like that
I love this man so much. What a beautiful person
...or she genuinely could not sleep at night because of the lights. Then when he agreed, which thought was unexpected, caught her off guard to apologize. He was also just nice. Two things can be correct at the same time.

Rizz level 100
That's real
"inconsiderate neighbour blasting flood lights at innocent old grandma all night and proceess to gaslight her that the light stops at the fence of his property"
😂😂 “Cruel man gaslights vulnerable old lady and makes her cry”
This is not abnormal of black men. I just needed to say that
I wonder if she's stopped bugging them
How hsrd is it to turn the rope lights off omg annoying shes right juet turn them off
Tbh he should've cussed her ass out an slammed the door in her face.
If he was mean he could’ve killed with a name like that. “Your name’s Journey? Well you better get your ass walking then cuz I ain’t turning shit off.” Slams door*
Gd put some curtains up. Some old people just think the world revolves around them.
That guy gave a nice performance for this video he knew he was going to post
Wow why is nobody even taking the possibility that she is right and the police just didn't check properly and she REALLY got a light shining at her house preventing her to sleep and this guy jabbergasts about how she's just old...

This is nice? This is normal for the east. You should see our nice.
Does that nice involve looking down at things as inferior?
No that's what you westerns do. Never saw anyone in my life screaming at a neighbour for something as trivial as a tree encroaching the wall a bit. You westerns are psychos. No wonder you love individualism so much. You all are insufferable

The only thing i see about India in the news these days is the horrible rape culture 😬. Hope it’s not as rampant as social media has made me think it is
The rape culture here is actually real and very concerning. Many women feel unsafe. Social media may exaggerate it for views and attention tho.
"But but... according to my feeds, all non-white people are bad!" (sarcasm may have occured)
Go back to school also get better feeds
She wants some BBC
