know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to

light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.

In

the

animal

kingdom,

weakness

can

bring

about

aggression

in

other

animal.

This

sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the

kindness

in

people.

I

see

it

every

day

when

people

hold

doors

for

me,

pour

cream

into

my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them

happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel

sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t

get

to

see

this

soft

side

of

others

often

，

we

try

every

way

possible

to

avoid

showing

our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending

we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell

and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry,

with some speeding up alongside me, horning (

按喇叭

) or even shouting at me. At the

moment I decided to do something I had never done. I put on the car flashlights and

drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers,

here.

I

am

weak

and

doing

the

best

I

can.

And

everyone

understood.

Instead

of

getting

impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some

way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel
