Quadriplagic man - hero of the year!
by Zivka Deleva
Human nature is something that I believe no science can explain. It takes so much to a man to be disappointed, not satisfied, lazy, passive, but it takes a lot of motivation on the other hand, for those that weren’t so lucky. When you are healthy, you don’t really think of how important that is, but when something happens to you that hurt that welfare, than you realize how important it was to feel good. I always wonder where some people find the inspiration of doing something, especially those in pain, those with physical handicap. Today’s hero definitely is Philippe Croizon, a Frenchman that has not a single limb, who managed to swim across the English Ch! annel! I know you don’t believe, but still it is true that this man has impressed the world today. More impressive for me is his goal, why he actually wanted to do that – it was “to inspire all those who think life is nothing but suffering”. What a thought! It is a little bit embarrassing to all of those people on Earth that believe life is no worth it, to know that a quadriplegic man did what he did. Bravo! Croizon had an accident 16 years ago, when working as a metalworker, he got hit by a 20,000 volt charge trying to remove a television aerial from a house roof and got hit by a power line. His limbs were amputated right away. One must be very strong to live with that. “I wanted to dare for myself, my family and all my fellows in misfortune who have lost their taste for life”. He had been training for two years and swam for 13.5 hours. We should all learn from such people!
