HERE IS FURTHER proof that JK Rowling is the most wonderful human alive.

A fan took to Twitter to ask the author what she would say to someone who “wants to finally give up”.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

The author noticed the tweet and set about reminding him that life does indeed have meaning and you should never give up.

She sent him this stunning photo.

Before leaving him with this nugget of wisdom.

.@BrocaesarTV And I'd say, the world is full of wonderful things you haven't seen yet. Don't ever give up on the chance of seeing them.

Which, of course, moved the fan to tears.

I'm tearing up over here! Humans can truly be amazing to one another. Thank you @jk_rowling and everyone replying.
