Men and Women of Steal

Men and Women of Steal

That steal being what our wheelchairs are made out of for many of us using them in our lives everyday. Like Kal-El, he got his steal from living on Earth and his life was changed and he sometimes also felt alone and left out of what we considered normal. However we see it, as a gift and a curse or a curse being a gift, like Kal-El we can chose to use this steal to save lives.

It doesn’t just mean saving a life is by stopping bullets, but stopping someone from using them bullets on themselves. People sometimes give up and many times there might not be anything physically wrong with them, they just feel without purpose. It can be that person you see everyday smiling but when they get behind closed doors they’re crying or that child who isn’t going through school too easy, who gets bullied and picked on and doesn’t tell anyone and gives up.

Kal-El couldn’t save every life but he saved a world with his steal. That's what many of us try to do everyday by going on with our lives despite the steal we must live with. They Rally, advocate, play sports, tell jokes, lift weights and sing to not just overcome their obstacles but hoping what they do inspires others to overcome their obstacles as well.

Sure like Kal-El, as strong as they seem they have weaknesses to. something that with having this power also has something that weakens their strength. Kal-El is weakened by Kryptonite , many of us are weakened by Autonomic Dysreflexia. We all share the life of the Man of Steal, something that weakens us and something or someone that gives us strength.

Whatever reason we use our lives to save others and what we do to cure our Earth , we are brothers and sisters among each other with Kal-El, so the next time you look at that steal you sit in, remember the real steal is inside you like Kal-El.

Thanks for your inspiring post. I am going through some hard, personal times and I needed a jolt to get me back on track. Your post jolted me back to reality and not some self-sorry fantasy-land I sometimes fall into. I AM NEEDED. I CAN INSPIRE. I AM ALSO MADE OF STEEL. It is not my chair that defines me, but what is inside. I must remember that when Kryptonite is near.

I really agree with you professirx! I watched all the sesons of "SmallVille" and "Kal-El" inspires me too. In these series he always thought that he is different but he always make sure that his difference to others doesn't affect him instead he made some generous things to save lives.
Just what I've thought, being different is not a big deal as long as we can do good things to others in spite of being different. Sometimes, we can do better than normal people, sometimes we think better than them. As long as we are in the right track no matter what the difference is, the more important is to do good and to help others.
There are times that I feel down but i am quickly reversing it by a thought of others. A thought that I am still lucky even if i am in a wheel chair. A thought that other people live in streets where there are no shelter for them, no food and no family to give their love unto them.
We are all lucky because we are still alive, we are all lucky because GOD loves us all!!!

By the way, because of the Small Ville series I am here!
I just saw Christpoher Reeve's advertisement about this site and led my hands creating my account here and I am lucky and proud to be here!

By the way, I am here because I've watch the Small Ville series and the advertisement caught my attention and led me here creating my account. Thank you to the late Mr. Christopher and Diana Reeve for all of these. Thanx to all the people who worked hard for these and keeping us all together as one.
