EED 111
ARTICLE: My journey "as a paraplegic"
Responds:
Life is not about sitting in a corner, feeling sorry for yourself. It's about accepting your circumstances, gripping the bull by the horns and work towards a positive change. As the proverb states: " Life is not about waiting for the storm to calm, it's about learning how to dance in the rain". I personally think, that one should look at his/her condition,not as a burden, but as a motivation to emerge from it. One should not be cynical about the situation, which they find themselves in. Always remember that life is quite beneficial, because it offers us a range of opportunity, which we can choose from. Life does not interfere with the choices we make, therefore we can choose how we want to use, whatever we got from life. The most precious thing life offers, is "time". We can choose how we want our time to be spent,but we can not demand "wasted" time back. Always remember to spend your time wisely and never let anyone spend your "precious time" for you.
I agree with what Illca is saying. Being a paraplegic should be seen as a new motivation to life rather than a pity party. The proverb that Illca used is a perfect one, because reading the article I could sense that she never once felt sorry for herself. A part that stood out most to me about Illca's response is the part that she said about the wasted time, time is truly precious, any of us can be put into that situation at any point any of us can be out into that situation. So something as simple as walking should be appreciated on a daily basis.
