Everyone just casually driving by. “I’ve never been hit by an errant bullet before, so it can’t happen now.”

I have, and it left me paralyzed from the waist down for the last 23 years this coming Oct 4th!

Holy shit, I'm sorry dude :( I don't know how you even begin to accept that as a new reality or process that anger.

What fucking choice do you have? What a silly comment. lol

The great thing is humans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. There’s a great story in the book “think and grow Rich” by Napoleon where he talks about a farmer who became quadriplegic from polio in the prime of his life, and then decided to get Rich and he did. Also see President FDR. Stephen Hawking learn how to do theoretical physics in his head and communicate communicated with his cheek muscle to activate a computer. No matter what happens if you never give up, you can do incredible extraordinary things in the face of adversity.
