In 1939, a 29-yo stockbroker rescued 669 Czechoslovakian children before the Nazi invasion. After the war, he told no one. In 1988, his wife discovered the scrapbook in their attic with all of the children listed. This clip is from "That's life" aired on the BBC: http://youtu.be/6_nFuJAF5F0 and at 105, he is still going! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Winton

I'm tearing up. I want to cry along with Mr. Winton.
AlwaysInGray
And the fact that he didn't tell anyone for all those years. That's impressive/admirable.

I don't say it often .. but maybe there is hope with people like this out there.

What's so incredible is that it's not just those people who owe him their life but all of their descendants too.

Amazing. People like him are the reason my dad's family exists. Our Jewish granddad was snuck out of Germany in WWI by a nameless hero.

That is offensive bullshit. Did my virtuous father deserve to die young? Or my bitch great grandmother live to her 90s?

plot twist: he's actually a reverse shinigami who's lifespan is augmented with every life he saves. he was just hoping no one would notice.

The documentary about him and what he did is on Netflix. It's called Nicky's Family. It will leave you in tears.

As a former /b/tard, never would this ever make me cry, after being off /b/ for a few years now, this made me tear up. and that is good.

That is copied word for word from the Jewish Talmud. But they're virtually the same book anyway, so it's all fine.

Most major religious texts contain violent, dated, warmongering passages, true. But there are also passages of timeless truth, as was cited.
DoctorCatDog
Eloquently put
Flyndaran
Holy books are random with little to no coherency throughout the centuries and radically different cultures that created them.
froggyrules
one good line makes the rest palatable?
TGWeaver
I never said that.

sure seems like it

[2] complete world; and whoever preserves a single soul, it is as though he had preserved a whole world." Sanhedrin 37a, Talmud.
TGWeaver
Like the Golden Rule, this is one concept that seems to pop up in pretty much every major religion.
Redrumofthesheep
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all Abrahamic religions, and they all base their holy books on the Jewish Talmud (Old Testament).
yehonatans
Talmud isn't the Old Testament, its the base to all Jewish law and thought but the Rabbis wrote it. (often quoting text)
Redrumofthesheep
Talmud is what Christians call the Old Testament. The Jewish laws are exactly the same as mentioned in the Bible, in the Old Testament.
MaliciousCuntWithoutAReason
Because it's stolen a lot.
TGWeaver
Also probable. Good religions borrow, great religions steal.
MaliciousCuntWithoutAReason
Great religions allow no excuses for murder, and have no demands for it.
