the power of …hope
By Serge Norguard. Filed in Personal, Philosophy/Religion |
first of all let me (yes folks serge is going to speak in the first person perspective for today’s post) introduce to all of you Peter Tan . This man is and will be always and inspiration to many people out there. Peter Tan suffers from being paralyze from the chest down since he was 18 due to a diving incident he is now 30+. just imagine how it is to be able and then disabled. for us abled body people it’s easy to ignore the fact that we can walk, run, skip, move our limbs here and there because we are able to do so. even typing this entry can make one forget our fingers.
Peter Tan, to me is an inspiration to many. from being an able-body person to a person who loses all physicality and is now and still is relearning to stand and walk again. Truly an inspiration, truly. I have seen many people who after maybe months of intensive physiotherapy, they give up hope and sometimes the will to live. but it’s different with Peter Tan, instead of giving up he gave up on giving up, i believe that with his physicality broken his spirituality deepen and that gave him the strenght to go on.
Thus today is an entry dedicated to him and to his cause which is being helped by Mack
First of all how many of you remember the earthquake that happen ? a lot of you, since the incident kicked us in the face. Peter Tan during the time of the earthquake was staying [and still is staying] on a high rise and he now need our help to help him with his cause. He is trying and still is, pushing the envelope to get high-rise buildings to have an orderly evacuation plan be created, taking to account the people who are bodily-challenged. I have noticed that most building do have a simple evacuation plan but one thing is for certain MOST of the evacuation plan is meant for those who are able bodied.
Peter Tan, after the earthquake incident wrote a letter to the building manager, and like most malaysia who is courteous and nice to westerners,scoffs at Peter Tan’s proposal and deemed him a troublemaker. Thus with the help of of Mack, many of us bloggers are voicing and helping Peter Tan out. You to can help the cause by placing this banner in your journal
