Inconvenient truth

the inconvenient truth gave a lesson to learn and it is good for me.
because now i realized that evrything that happens to us has a purpose.
while watching the inconvenient truth i felt a sadness in me because of the main person in the video that is disabled in many things. but the main character is satisfied in his life and lives it with joy and happiness. the man has a good faith in god and he never blaimed anyone on why he is like that and thats why everyone who knows him loves and appreciates him as a good man.
