This YouTube is very worth watching. And please note that were this man suicidal rather than empowered, the assisted suicide movement would gladly give him the pills and call it compassionate. Let us be attentive!

One of the most memorable things I ever saw was a kid with no arms or legs in a YMCA pool locker room. His guardian puts his suit on him, stands him on his hips on the ground, and turns around to get something. While his back is turned, the kid waddles away out of sight on his hip bones. The guardian turns around and the kid is GONE. Just as he enters into full freakout mode he hears the kid giggling his face off around the corner. Guardian takes off after him, “Why you little…”
Kids are kids, I’m happy to say.

Thanks for posting this Wesley. It’s one more instance that shows that happiness is not determined by our body type/shape or our circumstances. This man has certainly made the most of the precious gift of life and is living a life of meaning that many could only dream of.
