Yesterday I watched a movie called The Upside, which is about a paraplegic man. I’ve been thinking about him a lot today and about all the people in the world who have physical or mental disabilities. I tried to imagine what it would be like to live your whole life not being able to do certain things. It’s not the person’s fault, it’s not God’s fault, it’s just one of those unfair things about life. I’ve worked with people with physical and mental disabilities and have friends and family that struggle as well. Thinking about them all today made me so grateful that this life is not the end. I’m so thankful that there will come a day when paralyzed people will be able to move and depressed people will feel eternally happy. When someone born without arms will be able to hug their loved ones and those with OCD can live without their compulsions. There is so much in this life that is unfair, but I am thankful that all that is unfair in this life will be made fair in the next.
