I've learned that in life your not always going to get what you want. No matter how bad you want that million dollars for no work at all, it's probably not going to happen unless you work for it or get really really lucky.
Today I saw this little boy in a wheelchair...I could tell that it was something he was born with, I'm not quite sure what he had, but it didn't look comfortable, in fact it killed me to see him having to sit in that chair, not by choice, and watch everybody else walking around. How unfortuante. He wasn't looking for pitty and I loved that. He was just living his life to the fullest, with the biggest grin on his face, and a laugh to die for. Somebody with no feeling in his legs, no strength to move around on his own, NO independence. "My chair is a five speed," little Jeremy informs me, "that's fast."
Still not looking for any pitty. His innocent, weak voice making my stomach drop, not knowing how to respond to this brave young boy.
"That is fast!" I reply with a grin on my face.
Throughout the day little Jeremy was all I could think about. I admired his strength. All of these selfish people in this world, including myself, have no idea what "picked on" is. We all pitty ourselves for not having the money to buy our new favorite pair of shoes, when some people don't have any feet to put shoes on, when some peoples shoesm, are their wheels on their chairs. People these days are so selfish, they don't appreciate what they have in life and it drives me absolutly insane.
