The video, which is trending on the site’s r/videos forum, shows a rare moment of kindness on the 6 train, as a young man buys all the roses from a subway rose-seller and asks her to hand them out to the other passengers.

While we don’t see the reactions from many other passengers, it clearly made that rose seller’s day.
