The human race with dignity.

And they call some of these people "retarded"... A few
years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine
contestants, all physically or mentally disabled,
assembled at the starting line for the100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a
dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish
and win. All, that is, except one little boy who
stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of
times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy
cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all
turned around and went back......every one of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him
and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine
linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went
on for several minutes. People who were there are
still telling the story.
Why?

Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters
in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What
matters in this life is helping others win, even if it
means slowing down and changing our course. If you
pass this on, we may be able to change our hearts as
well as someone else's.

So, what ya gonna do? pass this story on or erase it from your mind...?
