Sometimes you can help someone much more by not giving them money.....thoughts are things...DOING something always helps.....perfect

Personally I see it as: the man gave value to the blind person. Then the blind person gave value to other people who maybe were a little bit down, by opening their eyes to the beatifull things. That effect had the words on me, I was a little bit down but I was reminded by the beaty around me..

then these people gave value back to the blind man, and then the blind man gave value back to the man by being happy.

Complete opposite of scarcity mentality some people have..

Pure subjective of course :p

What breaks my heart is that these are merely actors in a film; there are real people in need,& many of us would walk past the sign regardless of its wording

I'm not sure at all but there's a slight chance it might be Jacques Prévert. one day he is walking with a friend and sees this blind man and decides to chang it so he writes: "in a few days the spring will come around but I can't see it"

It's a shame that the writer and the director of this short movie has not siad that it is not his original story! I read about this story in a book years ago and so unfortunately I don't remember neither the name of the book nor the name of the protagonist of this story which was a famous contemporary French poet!

Really touching short film some times we take all the things we are blessed with for granted and don't think about the people who are not so fortunate as ourselves. This film also touch on the fact that sometimes actions can genarate more help for a person in need than just giving money.

As soon as i read the words...my eyes filled up and a choked on a breath for a moment, then i felt like i was at ease because good things happen all the time, not only bad.
