Exceptions to the Rule

[Confused]

I tell you a little story. I was sitting on a subway once when two men came inside. The first one had some kind of CP (central pares) damage. It means that they think and feel like everybody else, but they look different. They cannot coordinate their movements and need to sit in a wheelchair looking very odd. People might think that they are retarded but they are not. The other man was his helper and escort. When they came inside the escort sat down and took his mobile phone from a pocket and started to use it, while the man in the wheelchair was clearly abandoned and was sitting by himself and trying to look around (they have difficulties to move their head, arms, legs etc). Our eyes met and I was pierced by a feeling that I had to look down in deepest and humble respect. The feeling that I got, the notion, was that this man is in a very advanced state and he felt like Jesus or someone descended to this Earth. This man provided catalysts to all of us at the expence of his self, suffering and feeling pain, but he took on that voluntarily in order to teach (and learn, but mostly to teach). It is difficult for me to describe the notion that I got from his clear eyes. But I literally wanted to walk up to him and kneel before him in deepest respect and ask for his blessings. He made a sacrifice in order to help people. He agreed to that. And we don't even see it. That's was sad.

Simply beautiful.
