You may be familiar with the timeless expression: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This is a typical case of a guy who did just that but had the luck and honesty to recognize his error and learn an important lesson about friendship.
Twitter user Thomas Mcfall shared his heartwarming story recently, and it has suddenly gone viral as people were touched by the honest and friendly actions of an ‘immigrant’ student, as well as Thomas’ range for honest and sincere self-reflection.
We are all so busy these days, sometimes it’s easy to lose our basic humanity and capacity to connect with people. Thomas certainly felt this, being continually annoyed with the foreign guy sitting next to him in class at Youngstown State University, Ohio, only seeing the negatives and making no time to read the contents of the book. What happened next was somewhat fortunate on Thomas’ part, without a twist of luck he might never have understood what he was missing. But realize he did, and it makes for a heartwarming story!
Unfortunately, however, the story seems not to have touched everyone. There have been some strange and disturbing reactions since it went viral. Sadly, because of this, the story will end there. “He’s seen that I’ve been getting death threats due to my story and he doesn’t want to share any identifying information,” Thomas explained about his friend’s concerns. “That’s why a GoFundMe hasn’t been started.”
It’s not gonna end the pair staying friends though and for most reasonable and rational people, there are a lot of real vibes to take away from the story.
“We will absolutely stay friends. He’s great!”
