In Kindness, Little Selfless Acts Matter

Can you imagine living in a place where everyone but you spoke the same language? Very uncomfortable right? Such was life for Muaharrem, a deaf man in Istanbul who uses sign language to communicate. Muaharrem spent every day communicating with people in his town the best he could. He may have gotten by, but was never able to truly live. Until one day, when a Samsung ad created a new world for him that he never thought possible. As Muaharrem’s sister, Ozlem, walked him through his neighborhood, he suddenly realized that everyone he encountered not only understood his language but was able to use it with him. Samsung had contracted the locals to learn sign language as a promotion for its new technology for the hard of hearing but ended up giving Muaharrem the best gift he could have gotten: the gift of communication.

To be kind, one doesn’t need to be rich, intelligent and powerful. You only need to have empathy, you only need to be considerate about the feelings of others you only need to care and be a entity that’s both human and humane .
