People like Pistorious and Armstrong are revered as ideals of human will and determination to beat the odds. But Pistorious was born to a very privileged family and Armstrong was a world famous athlete before his cancer. I don't want to take away anything away from what they accomplished which is still very inspiring but in both cases
__________________________________Armstrong isn't revered for sh*t other than being a liar, a bully, a cheat and a fkng jerk. He's an inspiration to no one.
If Pistorious, who I never heard of till this murder came about, is found guilty I hardly think he will be inspirational to anyone.
Does OJ inspire you? Do we put sports over dead bodies now?
How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
