WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?"

I have read this story from my officemate , just want to share this very inspiring

In order to renovate the house, a guy <ST1:p</ST1:p breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.
He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed some years ago when the house was first built.

What happened?
The lizard has survived in such position for so long!
In a dark wall partition for many years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived so long!!! Without moving a
single step - since its foot was nailed !

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard That was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for years...

Imagine ! it has been doing that untiringly for such a long time, without giving up hope on its partner.

Think. Would you do that for Your PARTNER?

Think. Would you do it for Your MOTHER who brought you after a big struggle
of nine long months ?
Or for Your FATHER, FRIENDS, BROTHERS and SISTERS?

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster.
But the Distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well?

Me thinks you discount humans too quickly. There are a lot of people placed in similar situations. I really don't recall the details about how it happened but for as long as I knew one of my cousins he was a vegetable; bet-ridden, IQ of an infant, and totally helpless. I want to say it was a birth defect or complications during birth. For as long as he lived he was confined to a guerney having to be fed, bathed, cleaned, and loved. He was totally unable to do anything for himself. He could barely utter noises and basically laid there looking around and occasionally you might see a smile on his face. The doctors expected he'd be lucky to live to the age of two.

Because of my aunt and uncle's love for that boy, he lived to be 23 years old.

Anyone that has a child born with a severe mental disability lives a life similar to that of the lizard. I can't help but feel a high level of respect for them.
