TV host Mike Rowe offers words of comfort to Vegas victim
BLUF:[Daily Caller] Returning to his fan’s question, he continued, "I’m sorry, Molly. I know these are not comforting words. The world is as uncertain as the people in it, and we share this rock with some very uncertain folks. But we also share it with living proof that hope will never die." Rowe then offered Molly advice on where comfort could be found. "Take comfort in men who threw themselves over other people’s children. They are no less real than the killer, and they are still with us," he said. "Take comfort in the woman who loaded wounded strangers into her car and drove them out of harm’s way. Take comfort in the hundreds of first responders who risk their lives every day, and the hundreds of anonymous citizens who stood in line to give their blood. Take comfort in the fact all good people are shattered, and that you are not alone." "There are no words, Molly, at least in my vocabulary, to bring you the comfort you seek," he acquiesced. "But there are people among us who restore my faith in the species, even as others seek to rob me of it. I can introduce you to those people. That’s what I’ve tried to do with my little slice of cyber space, and that’s what I can do today. The same thing I do every Tuesday." He then offered an episode of his show, "Returning The Favor," as an example of everyday people doing something small, something significant, to offer comfort to others who do the extraordinary. "This is Momma Ginger. Momma and her fellow Soup Ladies spend their lives waiting for disaster and tragedy to strike," he said. "When the unthinkable happens, they drive to the scene with a trailer filled with homemade soup, and feed the first-responders." "It sounds like a small thing. It isn’t. When it comes to kindness, there are no small things." Posted by: Besoeker 2017-10-04 |
