Student receives the most wholesome reply when he asks stranger how to repay his money

Some individuals are remarkably selfless, dedicating themselves to improving the lives of others. A student, u/rajDesh1005, experienced this firsthand and shared a glimpse of the wholesome incident on Reddit. In his post, he detailed exactly what transpired. "I was in need of some money urgently at university and a fellow Redditor decided to help me out. That is what he responded with when I asked about how I should repay."

In the post, the student had attached a screenshot of the message he received from the stranger. The text from the student read, "Hi, just received the money from you. I'm unbelievably thankful and thanks so much for trusting." to this, the stranger gave the most wholesome response, "No problem. As to repayment, one of two ways. Either keep the money, but at some stage in the future, when you have graduated and become rich, you remember the kindness that a stranger showed you and help someone in need." As for the second option, the other man added, "Or repay me, but I would prefer the first option." This response left the internet community awestruck.

The post gained 1.8K upvotes on Reddit. Online users lauded the stranger's generosity and his inspiring message to pay it forward. "This is the way. Pay it forward. It's a great way to live and always brings good energy back," commented u/owlhead326. u/hunybadger691 wants everyone to do this, "This is exactly how society should work. If you can help out, give what you can and then if you've been helped, help others when you can. It's so heartwarming to see this happen to you OP. Best of luck at university!" u/takeoutenjoyer expressed, "This tells me that both you and the other Redditor are good people. Paying it forward makes the world a better place."

In a related story, a woman seized an opportunity to help a stranger by paying $5 for his meal. About a year later, she received the most heartwarming message from that person and shared it on Reddit. He wrote that he was grateful for what she did for him. He then told her that he was an honors graduate, working as an assistant part-time lecturer on a low income. The message read, "I'm here to tell you, when I'm alright, I'll never forget you." The woman was in tears after reading this text. The stranger also told her, "You might've thought it was a small amount, but to me, there was a huge difference from that day." 

People found the whole incident beautiful. u/WildRabbitz commented, "Sometimes, we have no idea how a small gesture can have such a big impact on someone's life. The fact that he remembered your gesture and wanted to follow up with you to thank you is genuinely beautiful." u/BabyAnimal_11 wrote, "That's really nice. This person is still reflecting on your kindness a year later. It meant a lot to them and probably helped lift their spirits when they were down. Good for you, kindness is a beautiful thing."
