The Style Laboratory – Eventful Ramblings

I had lunch with a friend, who is friends of the parents of the injured hockey player Jack Jablonski.

She tearily asked me why the public seems to be having such a strong reaction to the situation, whether they know the family or not.

I believe it is because life can change in an instant, but isn’t generally as tangible as a teenager facing paralysis for the rest of his life.  A lot of people are struggling but it isn’t physically evident.  In the past year, I’ve lost several people to cancer and to suicide.

It was a reminder:  “Be kind, because everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” – Plato

I pray for a miracle for Jack to be able to walk and not only for him, but also for the boys who checked him to have peace.  I also pray for a miracle, as it would do this cynical world some good to believe in miracles.
