The video makes the argument that people should be kind to each other. Pathos is dominant in this video because it appeals to emotion and that is also shown in the visuals. The video started with the main character being reluctant to be kind to strangers. He grew more open to being kind to others and that change created a change in his life. He is shown to have a more positive attitude towards everything after helping the old lady cross the road. There is also a cycle of life in the video. The old lady helped him feel better by helping someone, and the character is seen doing the same at the end of the video, acting like a blind person so another man can experience the joy of helping others the same way he did. A visual change also occurs after the man has a change in his character, everywhere he goes seems to be brighter, and more colorful than the first half of the video, which asserts his happiness and change of heart. The main character is also seen wearing colorful clothes, instead of the black ones he always wears.
