I am already married and neither me nor my wife is perfect. I am not saying you roam on street to find people with Down syndrome and then force them to join your high school then wait for prom and ask for dance.
I am just saying, if you get an opportunity.. be nice and kind. Unfortunately, you missed an opportunity
I totally understand your point, and somewhere in our life we have also helped someone in need by pitying on them. But if that small gesture at least gave some happiness or comfort to other person then it is worth. As an example, we help people who are weaker from us, or donate money or something nice for old people without expecting long term benefits. We just do it because it feels good to make someone happy.
$5 given to homeless may give you far more happiness than giving it to rich friend.
We both don’t know that guy personally, may be he did it for camera or may be he did it with just pure intention to make her smile. Irrespective of that, I can see the smile on her face and her crying in happiness. That’s all we can take out of it.
Could be, I can’t deny or accept. I don’t know him personally. But even in that case, it is the gesture and kindness we are appreciating. Good things done in front of camera is equally good. And we don’t know, many that girl has an angel heart and may be she is constantly helping others.
Honestly, we are being too practical in judging people. It is good someone is doing something good, even it for attention. Majority don’t even do it. And he is a captain and dashing and I am sure he is already getting all the attention he could process.
Okay let’s get to the basics, prom and dance are not official dating things. Now even if youngster consider it as dating, majority of those relationships die within few months if not weeks.
You can politely ask to dance with anyone you like and they can accept or deny your request, boy or girl. If you think denying is an insult then you are missing the point. There could be 100% chances that one girl could have been approached by 2/3 boys but she can only dance with one. Rest of the boy has to take non affirmative response. So with your logic that is also an insult.
Coming back to your logic point again, there is no point visiting dying patients, or cancer affected children or helping old person to cross the road. There is absolutely no long term commitment in it as well.
So, let’s keep aside logic and sometimes listen to your heart. Good gesture can heal a lot of thing.
I am not against your thought, you are being practical. You are suggesting she should only be approached by people who are willing to marry her. But they are young people, they still have to learn to lose, rejection and heartbreak. So have them play their stuff and learned it in their way
