"Civility comes from your heart, not your pocket. It doesn't cost once cent to be polite. I think there are more ways to be good than bad." Just lovely!
Civility is an awesome word and the first letter C reminds me of Christ my Savior and Redeemer. It doesn't cost a dime to have a civil tongue in all we say. Great video.
I was in a Mormon pre-church meeting with the Bishop. Mormons have a lot of meetings like these on Sunday morning. Someone said that a neighbor as 'anti'. The Bishop asked us not to refer to people that way because we are all God's children. I was impressed. I love how the church tries to remove the 'us' and 'them' mentality.
Each one of the videos in this playlist give me chills, they are ever so touching and meaningful. I've only begun to read the book of Mormon. However, I feel it is about to change my life ever so drastically. It's been far too long I've lived without Jesus Christ in my life, far too long without Church and far too many poor thoughts and judgements. It's time for a life change, once I feel is quite imminent indeed. Thank you, God bless.
"It doesn't cost one penny to be polite. The world can be kinda cruel at times, you get confused and you don't know what to do and so you just start reacting... I think there are more ways to be good than bad..." Wow! What one homeless man said in central park can honestly change your whole view of humanity.
I’m crying while eating my noodles right now 😭😭 . Just thinking about the amount of judgment or assumption that man has dealt with , when his heart is so pure and compassionate. I hope we can be more kind and treat everyone with love.
We all judge everyone else...but it took a humble, homeless man to teach all of us that "it does not take one penny to be polite" & "we just don't exercise the goodness that is instilled in us" The most important lessons in life are taught not by the learned, but by the humble in heart...Thank you Charles.
This video has brought many onions in the room. I know that sometimes we think we're good people but yet we are the first to cast the stone to others. But, as I was reminded here by Charles "There's always more ways to be good than bad". Love others as the Savior has taught 💜
This video made me realize that I too have been hypocrytical at times. I have never been outwardly rude to anyone, however, I am guilty of inwardly judging people and their motives by their appearance alone. This video has really opened my eyes.
I sometimes feel inadequate as to being able to "really do something" that will help others. I have found that a simple smile truly makes a difference to many. So I have a goal to find at least one person a day who is looking downtrodden or burdened, and I smile at them. It's amazing the light that comes into their eyes, and how they then smile - feeling a little lifted up.
I love what he said. "It doesn't cost a dime to be kind of friendly." Even if we can't give to those without money, we can at least show them a smile and be kind.
How easy sometimes it is to pick and choose who deserves our kindness. May we continue to pray with all our hearts to have the pure love of christ and see others how christ does. May we all act on those feelings of kindness that both those around us and ourselves may be edified. I love how christ see's us all for our potential and was willing to die that anyone of us can reach it.
Love that 💛 I am going to be a much kinder person. What the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about, recognizing the change that is needed and then working with Christ to make that change happen.
Awesome video, we never know about people until we know about them. All are family of Adam and all are children of God. Let's keep our hearts open and willing to recieve others wherever possible so that we can be prepared to live in God's dwelling together someday
Absolutely briliant video. After hearing Charles speak about civility it gives me the desire to utilize the goodness within me. May God bless you Charles 1000 times for your wonderful message. I know I was blessed by hearing it.
As I listened to the lady talk, I put myself in her shoes when the homeless person sat back down and started speaking from his own experience, and I was moved, almost to tears. It is a powerful message on how easy it is to be nice to those who are like us, but so hard to those we deem as less.
I love the quoit from Thomas S.Monson and his talk Charity Never Faileth. "Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other, may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travrelers in this journey through life." Are we making judgments when we don’t have all the facts? None of us is perfect.Each of us is unique. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”Mother Teresa Great talk.
Incredible experience."Judge not, least ye be judged"-Matt 7:1.We really never know what another is thinking or what experiences they have lived in their lives until we approach them as Christ would do; with love and kindness.It is a lesson to us all.
i often think of myself the way this woman does then after watching this I realized how judgmental I can be and I was ashamed. Not just because he was so capable of explaining himself in such an honest way but because he is so human, so much like all of us, in need of love, wanting to be accepted and coming from the same Father.
Well, great experience just wanna share that another area to consider in situation like this, just remember that we are all brothers and sisters, beloved sons and daughters of God.
"It doesn't cost one penny to be polite." So many of us could learn so much about civility from this homeless man. So meek, so forgiving, and such a peacemaker.
I am wondering why they did not show her apologizing or even saying that she apologized. It maybe that she was too embarrassed to apologize but the very act would have encouraged people to admit when they are wrong.
I Like how Charles said, It doesn't cost one cent to be polite. I know that loving our neighbor as Christ loved us is the right thing to do. Thank you for this GOOD video:-)
Oh, I loved this! I felt my heart moved when the man said that there are more ways to be good than bad! This video truly opened my eyes to see that we shouldn't be so quick in our judgments! I actually have a friend who constantly tells me "He (or she) is also a child of God" whenever I comment on random homeless people in a negative way. And because of my friend I have also come to learn that we really don't know what is in the heart of those people we see.
The majority of individuals we all see walking by etc...we don’t know. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt because I don’t know them personally. I smile at people knowing that a smile could make anyone’s day at any moment. Heavenly Father’s first greatest commandment is to love Him and others as He loves them.
A friend of mine was homeless for a while. He always says that he wanted a smile, a kind word, or just to be noticed at least as much or more than food or money.
What a beautiful video with such a sensitive and compelling story. It feels so real and authentic and shows how easily we can miss the mark. Being civil requires vigilance and an ability to rise beyond the 'excuse or distraction' in front of us. I believe we're called to behave with more respect, consideration, grace, curiosity and honesty. And as we are more present in the moment we'll find more opportunities to be civil, compassionate and of service.
I love this video. I think there are a lot of people who consider themselves very accepting, kind people. However, wrongly assume that a homeless person must have done something wrong or bad to deserve their desperate circumstances. That they must be a criminal, a drunk or so horrible that they have run off every family and/or friend in their life. That is so untrue for most, they have not done anything to deserve their hardships & everyone should treat them with love, mercy & charity.
This is an amazing video that should have 1 million hits on RUclips ... this is core to what the world needs to hear, see, and most importantly feel ... I also believe that there is much more good in the world than bad
To show more love and kindness to others around us through a smile, a kind word, a helping hand and lots more of other friendly things helps us all to be more Christ like and more happy. (judging is quite easily done, and it requires growing in love not to do it not so much in the future). :)
I am so far from on top of being civil to all without caveat but, I have found that keeping an eternal perspective helps. If I can keep from getting to tied up by the here and now it is much easier to love all of my neighbors. Be they family, friends, enemies, or strangers. I find that being civil brings me peace.
I believe we can be hypocrites in so many ways we think we are so good that it blinds us to the reality of our Judgements towards others. "Exercise Our Goodness That Is Instilled In Us"
I work with the public in my job sometimes and I have found it is so true that while some seem to act and feel as though being polite somehow 'takes' something from them and seem to meter out doing it very rarely, I have discovered that the more you give and are polite the more your ability to do so increases...as is the same thing with loving others. At least this has been my personal experience.
I saw this on a friend of mine's Facebook page. I was touched by it and felt it was perfect considering not a week ago I was called the N word while working. I was touched by the large number of people who weren't of my race who were equally offended as I was. I had no clue who they all were but this video depicts perfectly the silent bond we all shared.
That's what Jesus Christ would have done. I could imagine he would have just spent time listening to this man with compassion. We are all in need of someone to show us love. Jesus died for all mankind, so we shouldn't make excuses not to show compassion for others.
What do u think inwardly about the people that u meet on the street? Here's a refreshing bit of honesty of one woman & her confrontation with her own hypocrisy which taught her an eternal truth!
@nojogood. Thank you for sharing your eloquent words. Quite well said. This video and your words come in a timely manner for me and I appreciate your sharing.
For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind? Mosiah 4:19
It's always better to give than to receive don't look down on a man unless it picking him up if God fed a lot of people with 2fishes and 5 loaves of bread in sure we can help our brothers and sisters in the time of need trouble and shelter cause God is our shelter in the time of storm he will provide it's always better to give than to receive thanks for the video this might be us out here one day be there for one another put God first and everything else will fall in place God bless you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you do not treat your friend, neighbor,teacher,student,mother,father,son and daughter and and make them feel like an orphan,widow,homeless,stranger then you will see "one day" no one near your bed,home,class,street to kiss you,hug,hold,share and talk with you.Only you will feel terribly sorry to treat people unfairly, unjustly, judging,classifying and degrading instead of pleasing, couraging,befriending and protecting.
nice. i remember giving 2 dimes ( the only cash I had on me) to a man that was saying he was homeless once. the person i was with said what if hes a drunk. I said "what if hes not." Another time my husband and I were talking to a homeless man and my husband mentioned I had just lost my job. The man gave my husband his last 2 dollars and refused to take it back. He even through it at my husband and ran off. I thought "what a great guy"
I don't care if you're Mormon or not. This is something that the whole world needs.
"Civility comes from your heart, not your pocket. It doesn't cost once cent to be polite. I think there are more ways to be good than bad." Just lovely!
The quirky lass love it
I would like to see your comment today about what I talked to them if you're understood please

It takes allot to admit to being hypocritical. It takes allot to forgive someone who has been mean and rude. Both are very good examples to us all!
Each one of the videos in this playlist give me chills, they are ever so touching and meaningful. I've only begun to read the book of Mormon. However, I feel it is about to change my life ever so drastically.

Hey man! I hope you made it to that drastic good change in your life! No matter if you joined the religion or not :)
SignalsEverywhere good luck in life i hope you’re doing well ❤️

Once you get to know people, they are the sweetest and the funniest people on earth ever! ❤
This made me cry. The world is in such need of love and understanding one person can make a difference.
Great message. I can always work on being kinder and more patient with others.
I am so pleased that Charles is humble and not bitter about his situation, what a great example to us all.
I love what he said. "It doesn't cost a dime to be kind of friendly." Even if we can't give to those without money, we can at least show them a smile and be kind.
"I think there's more ways to be good than bad..." I love that. We could all learn a lot from Charles.
I love that you went to teach and got taught!!! Beautiful moments!!!! Thx for sharing ❤️
How easy sometimes it is to pick and choose who deserves our kindness. May we continue to pray with all our hearts to have the pure love of christ and see others how christ does. May we all act on those feelings of kindness that both those around us and ourselves may be edified.

I love this. I think being a member of this great church gives us a greater responsibility to love one another.
So beautiful when we all get along and love each other.
Love that 💛 I am going to be a much kinder person. What the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about, recognizing the change that is needed and then working with Christ to make that change happen.

Such a powerful commentary on how cheap kindness is, yet how easy it is to forget and be stingy with it!
I love the quote from Thomas S. Monson at the end.
I'm really impressed with that woman for understanding her weakness so quickly! I'm glad she decided to share.
Sometimes I think some homeless folks might be angels in disguise.
It is much easier to talk of civility and kindness then to be them. Well done!
i often think of myself the way this woman does then after watching this I realized how judgmental I can be and I was ashamed. Not just because he was so capable of explaining himself in such an honest way but because he is so human, so much like all of us, in need of love, wanting to be accepted and coming from the same Father.

Kindness is highly underrated.

What resonated with me? "There are a lot more ways to be good, than there are to be bad."
A friend of mine was homeless for a while. He always says that he wanted a smile, a kind word, or just to be noticed at least as much or more than food or money.

That they must be a criminal, a drunk or so horrible that they have run off every family and/or friend in their life.

something to think about and apply to daily life for sure

Faith, Hope, and Charity. Charity being the greatest. True love of your fellow man . Samariton Parable if truly fitting.
I agree, there's always more ways to be good than bad. There's always a good side about everything and everyone :)
I am so far from on top of being civil to all without caveat but, I have found that keeping an eternal perspective helps. If I can keep from getting to tied up by the here and now it is much easier to love all of my neighbors. Be they family, friends, enemies, or strangers. I find that being civil brings me peace.
Losing that hypocrisy isn't something you can just do once and then forget about, either. We have to constantly work to respect other people.
beautiful message
We must always remember to practice respect and civility in all that we do, and especially in politics we must practice respect and civility.
I believe we can be hypocrites in so many ways we think we are so good that it blinds us to the reality of our Judgements towards others.

love this! great message for all people of any faith!
She hit it on the head - "I was a hypocrite". She was too quick to judge - just like many of us. It is difficult to just love.
Such a great video. Such a simple message, but can do a lot for humanity.
very garteful to hear that
It doesn't cost a penny to be polite....
You could see in her face that she was very surprised by his responses to her questions. If it was not real then she should receive an Oscar.
That's what Jesus Christ would have done. I could imagine he would have just spent time listening to this man with compassion. We are all in need of someone to show us love. Jesus died for all mankind, so we shouldn't make excuses not to show compassion for others.
I love this :)
Good life lesson in Seminary this morning.
"Let deeds, not words be your adornment."
It is also difficult to admit a mistake. If we could admit when we are wrong, that's the start.
Amen
Really makes you think. Mormon Messages ftw.
That's it. Case closed. The church is true and this video proves it!!!
What do u think inwardly about the people that u meet on the street?
Here's a refreshing bit of honesty of one woman & her confrontation with her own hypocrisy which taught her an eternal truth!
You all should watch the kindness diaries, it's like this video but a whole tv documentary
@nojogood. Thank you for sharing your eloquent words. Quite well said. This video and your words come in a timely manner for me and I appreciate your sharing.
It doesn't cost one cent to be polite --Charles
There is so much GOOD in the worst of us, and so much BAD in the best of us, that it behooves each of us, not to talk about the rest of us.
wow...so very good
For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

No, I'm agnostic and I have a lovely home.
i don't know why i watched the video twice
No entiendo el video en ingles si alguien me explica porfavor resumidamente el video?
Gracias!
En Español? O no?
EPIC fake smile at 1:15, love it
All religions I have heard of foster humanity. That is all this video was about. We all know that the WORLD could use some of that.
if you do not treat your friend, neighbor,teacher,student,mother,father,son and daughter and and make them feel like an orphan,widow,homeless,stranger then you will see "one day" no one near your bed,home,class,street to kiss you,hug,hold,share and talk with you.Only you will feel terribly sorry to treat people unfairly, unjustly, judging,classifying and degrading instead of pleasing, couraging,befriending and protecting.
I am not Mormon but I found this interesting.
nice. i remember giving 2 dimes ( the only cash I had on me) to a man that was saying he was homeless once. the person i was with said what if hes a drunk. I said "what if hes not." Another time my husband and I were talking to a homeless man and my husband mentioned I had just lost my job. The man gave my husband his last 2 dollars and refused to take it back. He even through it at my husband and ran off. I thought "what a great guy"
You should remember this video the next time you see a homeless person and see if this changes how you react!
41 people accidently pressed the wrong button, instead of like the mouse slipped and they pressed the dis like
