"And then I show up to remind you that it's not nice to allow people to think they are doing something right when they really, really can't on their own."
And I show up to remind you that I feel sad that you have such a cold heart, and can't appreciate the love that both teams and coaches displayed for this young man.
I will remember your username - JRandomFreeper, and will never forget this cold post of yours.
Beautiful deal. TD, bucko. Fantastic fellow.
Do you think that lying to the young man, and convincing him he can do something he really can't will help him? Or society?
May as well convince the poor kid that he can fly and encourage him to jump off a building.
I could approve of helping him to work within his limits, and recognize them. Because we all have them. But not lying, or setting up a charade. That's cruel.
