While one comment that stood out states that although the homeless man looked poor on the outside, he is rich on the inside, reinforcing the age-old saying that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Rest in peace

Despite the homeless man’s adversities in life, it is ultimately what he decided to do in the end that defined him.

A simple action can be what inspires us to become better humans that contribute to the world and is a timely reminder how we can start the new decade: as good human beings.
