When Isaac Theil let a sleepy stranger take a little catnap on his shoulder, it was because ＂I simply remembered the times my own head would bop on someone’s shoulder because I was so tired after a long day, ＂he said to Tova Ross of Tablet Magazine.

Another subway rider was so struck by Theil’s nonchalant(若無(wú)其事的，冷淡的) empathy that he snapped a picture and put it on Reddit, from which it was then posted to Facebook. One redditor wrote, ＂Heading home on the Q train yesterday when this young black guy nodded off on the shoulder of a Jewish man. The man didn’t move a muscle and just let him stay there. After a minute, I asked the man if he wanted me to wake the kid up, but he shook his head and responded, ‘He must have had a long day, let him sleep. We’ve all been there, right? ‘＂

Theil himself has been completely surprised at the attention he’s received for his small act of kindness, as the photo has been shared over 20, 000 times on Facebook.

＂There is only one reason that I didn’t move, and let him continue sleeping, and that had nothing to do with race. He was simply a human being who was exhausted, and I knew it and happened to be there and have a big shoulder to offer him. ＂

＂I would love for people to use this as a lesson to just be good to each other, ＂ Theil said to Tablet.
