Exactly. Where do you think I learned it? On the street, of course.

Maybe.

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "Maybe," the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "Maybe," replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. "Maybe," answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "Maybe," said the farmer.

Lol I was waiting for this one. Several methods: 1. Prosthetic hands 2. At home I have a bidet 3. Carry around wipes, place on toilet seat when finished, wiggle around on top of the wipe to clean off.

The zip line snapped. The man whose property I was on was very sweet and a friend. It was not his fault. We did not sue.

I do. I have both phantom sensations and phantom pain. It hurt very bad at first,like a 9. Even when laying down it felt like my left leg was completely bent so I was sitting on my foot. One night a wise nurse strapped my right leg to the mattress so it couldn't bend. When I woke up the left leg was finally unbent. If I try to move my feet at all now it is excruciating,like burning needles stuck in them. My hands feel like they are curled in tight fists permanently. I try not to focus on the pain and over time I have gotten used to it. It doesn't really effect me although I just have a higher baseline of pain on a daily basis. It has really given me a higher tolerance for pain.
