This is one of those stories that makes me feel stupid for complaining - about anything.

Wow, that is really impressive, how he is living his life as well as inspiring and helping others.

There is a guy that camps at La Posa South in a tent and is in a wheelchair. It’s obvious that he has no use of his legs and I’ve seen him picking up trash several times. I’m amazed by him.

It has to be so difficult for him I can’t even imagine.

I guess I’ve been fortunate to be around a several of really inspiring people that have made life what they need it to be and exceed their expectations with a can do attitude. With today’s ever improving tech helping most anything is possible, requiring more desire and work but possible.

I love the man vs self stories. This guy is rockin it. I followed a double amputee sailor on the youtube for some time.. missing a leg and an arm and not much specialized equipment. an enormous challenge while out on the ocean.

Compare and contrast these folks with the flotsam of society where they can't turn on a tv without a remote.. people can't even be bothered to vacuum the floor and now have robots for that.

One day folks be will viewed as near superhuman just for wiping themselves!

A serious reset of values is needed. ASAP
