Sometimes you just got to accept that life dealt you a low blow and not expect everyone else to bend over backward for you.

You might not feel that way if it was you, or someone you loved, in that wheelchair! I have a friend who was severely injured in a car accident. She didn't die, but the accident ruined her life and her health. It could happen to any of us.

You're wrong about that. Regardless of what happened to me, I would not expect the world to bend over backward to accommodate me. I would adapt myself. Likewise, if it happened to someone I loved, I would do everything I could to help that person, but I still wouldn't expect the rest of the world to stop just for me and mine. What I disagree with is the attitude that some people have which says that because something bad happened to them, the world owes them everything. Wrong. Even if you get paralyzed in a horrible, tragic accident, the world still doesn't owe you anything. Maybe your loved ones do, but the world doesn't.
