Stephen Hawking, our modern day Einstein, wrote the runaway best seller A Brief History of Time. It stayed on the British Sunday Times bestsellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. But Stephen has a form of ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease) and can’t speak at all—he can’t even move. Instead, his friends built a special computer for him. He writes onto a computer with small movements of his body, and then a voice synthesizer speaks for him.
His friends had asked themselves: Is it Stephen’s fault? Should we do something about it? Shouldn’t we just love him and try to help him—just as we would baby Sue who may never speak or Grandpa Jones who may never remember your name?
If we ask those questions about the people around us with love, love can shape the answers with unexpected and not-so-obvious results.
