There are times when people unselfishly do the unthinkable for others.
There’s a Kentucky woman named Ashley McIntyre, for example, who gave her kidney to a complete stranger after hearing his plea on a local radio station.
A 17-year-old named Brennan Bardowski from Michigan also performed a heroic, selfless act when he stopped his car to prevent a random woman from jumping off a bridge.
But, sometimes, people fail to lend a helping hand. In more severe cases, they get so caught up in their own lives that they forget to show love to even those closest to them. That’s what happens in Gift, the short film featured below.
At first the family seems happier than ever. But then, the mother and father begin to neglect their redheaded daughter while they favor their other child.
The little girl gets in trouble for spilling a drink and then for making a mess in the bedroom. At one point they even force her to sit alone while the others enjoy dessert together. It’s heartbreaking to watch.
Yet, the video contains a major unexpected turn at the end that left me stunned and saddened. There’s also a very important lesson that I hope people will pay attention to.
