This 3-minute video will change the way you look at small acts of kindness.

 

This three-minute film is so beautiful, it’s hard to believe it’s a commercial.

In the short video, originally an ad for Thai Life Insurance, an unnamed man pauses throughout his day to carry out small deeds of kindness — leaving some snacks outside an old lady’s door, offering up his seat on the bus, handing out a few notes to a tiny beggar.

He doesn’t receive any money, fame or recognition for his trouble. But what he does get in return?

Well, we can’t give that away. But it’s just gorgeous.

(And if a tiny tear doesn’t spring to your eye at 1:52, I reckon you’re doing emotions wrong.)

Did this ad totally get to you? What other commercials get you all teary?
