Religion in Life!!

Today I went to Religion in Life at the institute and this guy that is in a wheel chair talked. Basically he told the whole story of how he ended up in the wheel chair and what not...basically this is the story: When he was 15 he went over to his friends house and his friends parents were gone somewhere. So his friend pulled out this gun and said that he liked messing around with it, because it was fun. Then this friend dumped out the bullets and pointed the gun straight at this guy that was giving the talk and bamb (there was somehow a bullet still in the gun) the bullet went straigt through him. Except that it stopped because it hit his spine, so he has been paralyzed from the time he was 15, so about 30 years. The very interesting thing that I found from this whole story was that it was an accident and everything, but of the two the one that turned out messed up was the guy with the gun and not the guy in the wheel chair. Even though it should have been the other way around. But the other guy ended up robbing a bank later on and has been in jail like 20 years. So I guess the whole point of the talk was that even if trials happen you shouldn't give up and follow the world, but do the exact opposite. But I must say that I sure wouldn't want to be that friend, like ever. (as in accidently shooting someone or something like that)
