The fact he survived that whole journey hanging on the plane proves that it wasn’t his time to go, and that he has something significant to offer this world. Gabriel is amazing young man, doing everything off of his own back to help someone in need of it. What. A. Story!

[@JET7C0]

Yeah because when little kids none of us have heard of die from juvenile cancers, which are the result of totally random cellular replication errors, high energy radiation damaging their DNA, etc., - that means they had nothing significant to offer this world, and it was just "their time to go." I also guess this guy's friend had nothing significant to offer this world, so that's why he died, too.

[@wienix11]

@@JET7C0 Terrible take bro

[@JET7C0]

@@wienix11 Well, I disagree obviously, but you're free to actually say why you think it's one, rather than just saying that, which changes no one's mind. I dislike these cheesy "things happen for a reason" takes myself, though I don't doubt their heart was in the right place. Still, the actual implications of statements like this are messed up.

[@wienix11]

@@JET7C0 yeah I do understand your train of thought. While I do agree that there is an inherently cheesy undertone to the statement, "it wasn't his time to go". That is the current reality, he's still here so clearly it wasn't. Now whether or not his time was preordained by some higher power or destiny is another conversation entirely. I think that our existence is indescriminate and chaotic and the unfortunate reality is some of us are "lucky" and avoid juvenile cancers and the like while. Saying it is or isn't someone's time to go is a rather clichéd statement but is based in people's interpretations of each of our inherent luck. Simply put life isn't fair, but stating scenarios of unlucky in this context is just unecessary in my opinion. Hence why I thought it was a bad take. Free speech and discourse such as this is important however.

[@JET7C0]

@@wienix11 So basically, again, kids who are perfectly innocent and good, get brain tumors, get shot in gang warfare crossfires, die in slums, etc. - if there's a "higher power" that decides to subject people to arbitrary and immense suffering, not only do they suck, but we're basically living under a horrific, despotic, spiritual regime if true. Instead, I think it's healthier to realize we are all subject to unforeseen circumstances, external to ourselves, that have no relationship to our internal moral character, our worth, or certainly our future potential, and in that way we can try to help each other through and work to prevent these arbitrary and wholly external tragedies, like say, earthquakes, or cancer, or per the video above: work toward a world where people can realize their potential without having to be a stowaway in a nearly certainly lethal circumstance, without suggesting instead, when one predictably dies, and another survives by the luck of where they placed themselves, that this was meant to be, because they had something to show the world the deceased friend didn't. On a more personal level, my dad died of cancer when I was 7, and he in his early 30s - he was a good man, dad, and on a very promising track in his life, where many of his colleagues made a name for themselves and positive contributions to the world - do I think or believe he suffered horribly and ultimately died from cancer, all the while agonizing over leaving his young children behind, because he didn't have something "significant to show the world" as opposed to his colleagues who survived. No, I don't. While the original commenter's heart I don't doubt was in the right place, this is literally the implication of their statement.

Im with you I’ve been studying Sa history and big respect from London in the uk ❤️💯

[@mrk3815]

This was dumb regardless, u have other Africans risking it all to get to South Africa and this guy does this, I’m sure a lot of Africans think living in America or the uk is actually like being in paradise , I keep telling my cousin back home how depressing the uk is they just kept laughing at me

[@strumblackburn9395]

That young man Gabe is an angel. He's to young to have such a healing disposition. Omg. This young man has taught me something I thought I knew....dont just judge a book by its cover, and do not let fear stop you. May God bless this young man. Wow. Wise beyond his age.

[@johnhill8396]

If you put yourself through something like that for a better life, you deserve to live anywhere in the world

[@philversion1383]

Gabriel is a example of what a wonderful young generation we have growing up in this country, really gives me hope for the future.

[@weltarè]

Am really sad that despite all this guy has passed through, he became homeless without support till when he met Gabriel. Am watching this video in 2024 and I had tears when seeing Gabriel. I once travelled to Germany and France, I know how hard homeless life is. May God bless Gabriel.

Gabriel makes me want to help others as he did

[@crownjewel4093]

Gabriel is the hero here. Humanity needs more people like him. God bless you Gabriel!

[@omarwilliams5149]

This story renews my hope for humanity. Gabriel, you have a beautiful soul.

[@chiomatheroyalty]

Something is confusing me here. So this happened in the UK, and this guy stayed in the hospital and in coma for 6 months or so and still he was discharged from the hospital without any social services getting involved to make a provision for him? I would assume that humanitarian/refugee assistance would be in place for him for passing through this trauma. Gabriel as young as he is, he is simply an Angel. God bless him for taking care of that man. 🙏🏾

[@ArchieRish]

Gabriel, you truly are the arch angel himself. And for a gentleman so young, what you did is incredible. God bless.

[@LTCTTM]

So much respect for both of these lads! Themba has such a great positive outlook on life dispute being dealt a hard set of cards. Gabriel just has such a good heart! I think we can all do our part to help those in need, even if it's just doing something simple by feeding a homeless person one meal of their day. We all have a duty to care for others!

[@justiceagyei9615]

Never knew that people like Gabriel are still alive.Hes an angel in a human form

[@jaygatsby3039]

The fact we treat people who risk their lives to come to the UK so BADLY should be to our eternal shame. This guy was brilliant.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Yeah we should let millions of immigrants in the UK

[@ellenkarlsson9490]

We should make it easier for immigrant to come to Europe. People are risking their lives every day, as stowaways, in dinghies on the Mediterranean, to come here. They pay millions to smugglers and live under the radar. Imagine how much the economies of European countries could gain from allowing people in to legally work and pay taxes?

I used to be like Gabe, living for service, then I got married to someone because I wanted to change life, it destroyed me. Seeing this reignited my innocence and purity. Thanks Gabe for making me believe in humanity again.

[@user-oc7uu8ss1x]

Keep up the hope and good spirit. May the things that are good for you stay, and what is not good for you be removed.

[@kyzachi736]

I wept, then dried my tears and just had to say a BIG Thank you to Gabriel for caring. May your friend's soul Carlito RIP.

[@chagavah]

Wow, there are angels amongst us. Gabe is what humanity was meant to be!

[@diydari9404]

This world never stops to amaze me. I remember we had an African boy in our school, he was also homeless at age 10. He said from the first day he started working to pay for a plane ticket out of there.. Took him 6 years and he made it. Now he has his own company, driving around picking up "trash" ( leftover materials from building sites) ships them in containers to his hometown, and every summer he goes down and builds houses for homeless kids. Never give up, strive for your beliefs

[@GM-cq6ez]

What an incredible story - another hero!

This story shows how far can a man go and how much he can endure when he becomes desperate,. It also shows how good and noble some people among us can be. Hats off to Gabriel !! you are wonderful. And good luck to Themba you are a real surviver please carry on your adventure in building good life not risking your life this time.
