Paulo Machado, the man who has lived in hospital for 45 years and his spirituality

Paulo  Machado  spends his entire life in his hospital.  The entire story of his life is published in the BBC  news.  After reading the story  of Paulo Machado I was reflecting his attitudes  on his life. He can be a religious  person or be  an atheist, but as human  person being  in the hospital for 45 years one can wonder his life and his attitude.


"Paulo Henrique Machado has lived almost his entire life in hospital. As a baby he suffered infantile paralysis brought on by polio, and he is still hooked up to an artificial respirator 24 hours a day. But despite this, he has trained as a computer animator and is now creating a television series about his life."

We must appreciate  the good attitude of Paulo for accepting his life to lives in the hospital. It is not easy to  to accept  life to live in the hospital even as a person of paralytic.

2. Service to the World
