California community buys out donuts so shop owner can spend time with sick wife
Рет қаралды 7,465,531
5 жыл бұрынIn our series, A More Perfect Union, we aim to show that what unites us as Americans is far greater than what divides us. In the small surf town of Seal Beach, California, donuts are suddenly selling fast. That's because customers of a mom-and-pop shop made it their mission to help the owners in their time of need. John Blackstone reports.

@@SuperHuscarl In Asian culture they have a strong belief in dignity and hard work, and tips are considered unnecessary in places like Japan because they don't think good service should be associated with extra reward. Asian people who work tend to want to give good service solely because they are passionate about their job and respect their customers. I honestly have so much respect for them. They probably work harder than we do yet expect less pay.

There was a time around 60 years ago when communities were like this. I grew up knowing who was who, all the firemen were volunteers people knew each other by name. Yes it was a small town. It was safe, polite, children were taught manners, and you could run around outside playing way after dark without fear. Now people don't bother to know the name of their neighbors, who might be needing help, or any of the things that makes a community a community.

Quran (4:89) "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

I only saw this in October 2022, but that's such a great story. Kindness and decency from the community for an immigrant with a sick wife-- just beautiful. And a proud man who wasn't going to take handouts, so the community had to find another way to help--and they did--makes it possible to believe in people again.

There's MANY different Asian cultures because it's a whole diverse continent! The cultures in Iran are going to be different than the cultures in Tibet or Sri Lanka. You can't paint them with a broad brush with the false notion that helping others or being helped is an insult. The most common religions in the Asian continent are Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. One of the most important aspects in each of these religions is charity and generosity. Dāna in Buddhism and Hinduism, and Zakat in Islam, one of the five pillars. And then there's Confucius. "If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else." "Charity, like the sun, brightens every object on which it shines." John Chhan knew he could earn enough with his job to afford everything so he as an individual decided to decline the offer and keep working. The money could go to people unable to do that. That's it. It's not a reflection of "the culture". Plus they're Cambodian so there's a 95% chance they're Buddhist themselves.

there’s also something to be said about that very mindset. while it’s sweet that this man is choosing to work for his money, handouts where handouts are needed is not something that should be looked down upon. even if he decided to accept the community’s offer of a gofundme, i certainly wouldn’t respect him any less. i would actually find it super sweet the community’s eagerness to help him out in his time of need. we really need to stop putting so much emphasis in a persons value being how much labor they contribute.
