There was a natural disaster where these people lived, and the electrical power system was down. And so, many people went to a large building supply store, to buy an electrical generator. Soon enough the store ran out, and the man in this photo got the last one.

On his way to paying for the generator, however, he learned that the woman in this photo had a father who was living on oxygen, and for whom a power outage was a serious threat. The man, who doubtless had considerations of his own, simply handed the generator to her, and wished her the best.

As we say, humans help one another, especially when they are able to see clearly. This situation allowed the man to see very clearly. Once he did, his natural decency rose to the fore.
