Please don't push their spirits into the wheelchair

In an accident, Philippe was unfortunate; but when he met Driss, Philippe was also lucky.

The paralyzed Philippe always makes people think that he is a very fragile person, and the people around him want to do their best to protect him. But in fact, apart from the paralysis, Philippe is no different from ordinary people-he writes to his pen pals, he listens to Bach and Berlioz, even if it is not convenient to turn the book, he insists on reading-he longs for the most normal and fulfilling life, but The paralysis blocked his pace.

But the people around couldn't understand. They felt that as long as Philippe got his best care, it was enough to live in the mansion without worrying about food and clothing. No one wanted to do too much.

Fortunately, Driss appeared in Philippe's life. They drag racing, paragliding, dancing, meeting pen pals—Driss's life has regained its color. It's like Driss's painting.

I have heard a story before. A boy suffered from mild depression and he was treated with medicine. Later, his boyfriend said that during the treatment, he would still blame the boy for not tidying up the house from time to time. He just hoped that the boy would not feel that he was really sick. He told the boy that he was no different from other people. In fact, patients and disabled people are not much different from ordinary people. Treating them as equal as possible is the greatest care for them.

They may need help in life, but please do not push their spirits into the wheelchair.
