Plan to only take 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital.
One man was allowed to sit up in bed for an hour to evacuate the fluid every afternoon from lung history.
The bed was next to the only window in the room.
The other man had to spend his days lying on his back.
 Men talk for hours.
They talked about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in military service, where they were on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, I spend time with her roommate were to describe all the things I could look out the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enriched by all the activity and color of the outside world.
Dominated in the window with a beautiful lake in the park.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young Lovers Walking arm in arm in the middle flowers of every color and a beautiful view over the city can be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room to close your eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man could not hear the band – I could see in his mind that gentleman by the window with descriptive words portray.
Days, weeks and months.
The next day a nurse to bring water to the bathroom just came to find her lifeless body to the man at the window, died peacefully in his sleep had.

Slowly, painfully, I set up on one elbow to take his first look outside the real world.
Slowly I turn to strain to see out the window beside the bed.  
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what his roommate died limitations described who had such wonderful things outside this window.
Nurse A was the man, blind and could not even see the wall.
She said: “Maybe I would just encourage you.”
