I too, want to swim with wild dolphins

Just finished watching Aiba's part of 24hr Television, a programme in which stars host this show for 24hrs, reaching out to the public to raise awareness for people who are not as fortunate in terms of disabilities. Aiba's part was to help this disabled boy fulfill his childhood dream of swimming with dolphins in the wild. I was really touching, with Aiba helping the boy with many difficulties such as the boy's fear of swimming face down and swimming in the ocean. Previously, the boy had only tried swimming backstroke in a swimming pool, which was already a great feat for him, seeing his legs were part of his disabilities. What i noticed was really how the boy looked really happy when he saw the dolphins and he even exclaimed that he was the dolphin's eyes! This coupled with the blue ocean and smooth-and-cute looking dolphins, made me feel really happy. You see, it is sometimes helping others that you realise the joys in life. We might not know that we are very lucky to have something others don't. But it is through seeing how others are content with what they have and are easily satisfied with the little things more they get that we feel we are really lucky.
Take me for example. If i had known I had muscular disease like the boy that would affect my limbs, would I still be as happy as i am now? Maybe not.
Therefore, just watching the boy on tv having his wish fulfilled, I feel fortunate with what I have, just like how the boy lives a happy life despite his disabilities.
HENCE! I TOO WANT TO SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS!
(ok random much)
KBYE!
