Paraplegia and Monoplegia

To all my classmates

Even if you cannot walk and move as usual, remember that your mind can think as broad as it can. Do not let the bodily limitation prisons your thinking. True freedom is in mind, not in body. Only you, nobody can limit and prison your thinking.
It can be said that you are luckier than the prisoners in jail. You can move and go wherever you want even it needs people and technology to take you go.
Happiness and painfulness is in your mind. When the mind is attached to the wonderful past, the reality in present causes you discomfort. The past cannot return, let it go and try to live in present moment by means of accepting it and using the rest of the body as best as it can.
If you continue blaming yourself, “Why is it me?” this means that you are doubling your suffering. The more you blame, the more you are pained. Is it better to look at another side of the coin? “Why can’t it be me?” This can occur to everyone, not only you. There are millions of people who suffer like you. Your fortune is not worse than other people’s. Avoid thinking that it is completely misfortunate; good luck may be hidden inside or behind the bad luck.
Pramaha.
