On a wheel chair, on the highway
Princess September | 26 June 2008, 11:29pmI happened to go on a day's trip to Mehboobnagar district yesterday. There was this man on the high way. The high way was pretty deserted barring a check post a few furlongs further down as we drove past him. This man was pushing along on a wheel chair (it wasn't really a wheel chair), it's a vehicle used by those who can't use their feet, I can't quite place the word for it.
What amazed me was the way God created this universe. There are some who have large families. Some who have no one. There are some with hands, feet, yet they find reasons to be frustrated in life. And there are some who don't have feet or hands, and yet they walk deserted paths. Strange as it may seem, when God deprives you of somethings, he gives you fortitude, patience and will power. I'd rather have those than all the comforts in this world.
Whether that man on the road, knows it or not, this post is for him. God bless him. To those who never say die!

Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn't done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity. There is no standard of personal dignity except independence. And thats what the old man was - INDEPENDENT!
