patch adams himself!!!

Patch Adams is an amazing person. Hearing his words made my day.
No actually my week and probably my entire month.
Everytime I feel shallow I try to remember his words. The lecture was long and I would need pages and pages to write about what I learned from him.
He has really good values, some of them are really extreme, but definitely rare in our days.

His story and his life choice touched me...
This interview does not do any justice to the person he is, but it is still a bit of information I thought I might just share.

For the least impressionable or just the curious: there is footage from Patch on a trip to Caboul's children hospital. watch it and be prepared to realize how futile our western society has become...
