After hearing about this guy, you tend not to feel so sorry about yourself.....

I've learnt that life for other people is not simple. For example when I was robbed. There was no real anger in me because there was no violence involved and I realise that these young guys have got a life ahead of them which could be very short. I mean the money that they took from me could or was going to end up in their arm and they may not have survived that experience.

Laffan Matt topic

I just met him in this news story. This is one courageous human being.

Matt sure packed a lot of living into a short life. I hope he was not in a lot of pain at the end stage.

I hope he gets to play rugby in wherever he goes to next. :)

Yeah, I hope he gets to whip the all blacks!

He packed more into his short life than most people who live to twice his age.
I saw him on "Enough rope." It was one of the more memorable interviews.
