I actually saw this video on the Dr. Mercola website. I was so moved by it that I felt I had to share it with others. I fear sometimes that I've become rather cynical and jaded due to my experiences and from what I've learned about the world but it's in these rare moments — inspired by sheer human beauty and fortitude — that I know we are all still innocent no matter what; that despite all the excrement that covers the masses and in spite of the depth of depravity that humankind can stoop to, we can still surface for air sometimes and occasionally even soar about the filth, unsoiled.
I think this reminds us all really to reevaluate our lives — to realize fully how fortunate we truly are just to have all four of our limbs! You don't think twice about how fortunate you are that you can eat using fingers and not toes. (Today, when I was tying my shoelaces in the garage and walking to my car I smiled inwardly and felt a wave of gratitude knowing the fact that I could perform those simple actions with ease and that I could drive to the gym). These very basic, fundamental things that we never think twice about. I'm so glad that I came across this video (and at a perfect time in my life) because it reminds me to be in a state of perpetual gratitude for being alive and for having robust health; most of all, to know that the only thing holding me back is my own limiting notions of self, rather than some fanciful external impediment that is not actually there.
我覺得在我人生當中只有兩條路：要麼趕緊死，要麼精彩活著。沒有人規定鋼琴一定要用手的。
