    Heartless people would judge this man and call him a freak, why? Because he had the strength to continue on after a life threatening injury, and even after that life threatening injury and being blinded for the rest of his life, he continued to be the most lovable father you could ever imagine.

      @G Will I believe we should come to rational, evidence based conclusions. That's what I'm doing.
      To say that "everything happens for a reason" is an extra-ordinary claim with no evidence behind it. Whereas the effects of confirmation bias have been studied and proven. Thus it's most rational to believe the latter is the cause of Valerie's thoughts.
