LESSON IN LIFE
There was a man who lost one of his arms in an accident. He became very
depressed because he had loved to play guitar and a lot of things that took
two arms.
One day he had had it. He decided to commit suicide. He got on an elevator
and went to the top of a building to jump off. He was standing on the ledge
looking down and saw this man skipping along, whistling and kicking up his
heels. He looked closer and saw this man didn't have any arms at all.
He started thinking, what am I doing up here feeling sorry for myself, I
still have one good arm to do things with. There goes a man with no arms
skipping down the sidewalk happy and going on with his life.
He hurried down and caught the man with no arms. He told him how glad he
was to see him because he had lost one of his arms and felt ugly and useless
and was going to kill himself. He thanked him again for saving his life and
he knew he could make it with one arm if that guy could go on with no arms.
The man with no arms began dancing and whistling and kicking up his heels
again.
He asked, "Why are you so happy anyway?"
He said, "I'm NOT happy ... my ass itches."

I know a guy that can relate to that, very much. Sometime
back he'd had a hip replacement and was leaving the hospital. He was
feeling rather sorry for himself, and when the elevator door opened, he
said sitting there in a wheelchair was a guy with no feet...and he was
a very cheerful kind of guy. Kinda put things into perspective for him.[:)]0
