Nick Vujicic & "1 Litre of Tears"
Nick- your story is truly a legend and a miracle. People used to say that you will know how lucky and fortunate you are when you see those poor children living in developing countries or those with physical disabilities. You will then know how good or how great you are. But, after watching your DVD, it indeed changed my perspective on life. I am not a pessimistic person, I am a quite optimistic person but obviously I will have ups and downs as well... That's just life. But, I cry so much after watching "1 Litre of Tears" produced in Japan, talking about how a girl having cerebellum problem starts to lose her co-ordination of her body movement and starts to become totally paralysed and cannot speak. This has indeed made people feel how lucky they are and how have they have in life.
However, you Nick- you, have really changed everything. I love one of the quotations in "1 Litre of Tears" - Disability is not unfortunate, it is just inconvenient. And, this has shown in your life. How you overcame so many hardships and pain in order to become as happy as you are now. Sometimes, we wonder whether people should end their life through euthanasia because they are mentally handicapped or paralysed or have other defects in the mind or body. But, the one who is really disabled is us. You are right, Nick. We seemed to be so indulged in temporary things and start to build our happiness on that. We rely so much on material possessions, drugs, sex and alcohol. But, love is all we need.
Thank you!
