    Earning money does not make you a better person. Learning how to spend wisely will definitely make you a better person.

    Not my first time watching this. This video is so touching and it’s such a tear jerker. It also reminds one that people aren’t around forever and this is why it’s so urgent to treat others right. You may not have a chance to say you’re sorry later🥺

    Am I the only one who thought it was weird that the father didn't explain his giving to his child? Then only after he passes away does his child find out?(especially if its in his name) Such a giving man should of shared more of what his life's purpose was with his child. . . makes the short film a little too tropish. (i.e. trope)

      With all due respect Mr. Brown, It appears you missed the point. In my opinion one has to open & able to receive such a message & it was clear to the father that his son was neither of those at that point of his life as his father was trying but unable to get him to comprehend it. Perhaps his feelings at such a young age clouded his mind as he got older still preventing him from understanding. What was most important to the father was to make sure that SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW his son understood what he was trying to teach him. His father knew as many of us know. You cannot force a square peg into a round hole & had the father persisted it would have alienated his son even more. But in his heart he knew that one day his son would understand & receive the message. Sadly, when we do learn some of life's most important lessons, we wish we could go back in time & learn them earlier for a myriad of different reasons, even sadder is that we cannot. But none the less his son did eventually get it so his father succeeded and that was his main purpose.
