When we were studying at High School, there was an unforgettable lesson in our English text book. The lesson is aptly titled "In celebration of being alive". It’s a story by Doctor Christian Bernard( The first person to perform a heart transplantation ). The title sounds magical right? Well, it is even more magical to think about the story for a while. We were so moved by this lesson at that time, but indeed it takes life-time to understand the real thought.
Doctor Christian Bernard narrated some of the most influencing experiences of his life. The story goes like this... The doctor and his wife met with an accident, he had his ribs broken,bed ridden and his wife was also hospitalized. There were many child patients in the hospital, few of them had their legs amputated, few had a tumor and had to undergo painful surgeries, therapies and so on. One day, a blind child and his friend who have lost one of his legs were playing a push-cart game. The disabled boy was sitting on the cart and steering it, while the blind boy was pushing it. Doctor Bernard, who was observing these children while recuperating from his bed, was surprised to see that both of them were very happy and playful, forgetting about their misery.
Doctor acknowledged that the kids had taught him that the business of living is joy, in the real sense of the word. Not simply pleasure, amusement, recreation... but more a “Celebration of being alive”.
