Tragedies can occur to us at any time. Somehow, they seem to always happen at the wrong time. We may also feel that they have happened to the wrong persons. "Dear God, what are you doing? This is not supposed to happen to me. This is supposed to happen to poor people of lesser status." Sometimes, however, after a little soul searching, we learn that a traumatic experience has made us re-evaluate our values and that we subsequently gain a new insight that enables us to have a more fulfilling and joyous life.Paul was a 34-year-old, handsome, Caucasian man.

He was having a stroke.
