People Whose Will to Live Was Stronger Than Circumstances

3 days waist-deep in the outhouse

Coolidge Winesett, a retired 75-year-old man from Virginia, owns a house with outside utilities. One day, he went to the outhouse, and the floor below him broke because the wood was rotten. Winesett was in the pit.He couldn’t get out of the pit on his own because part of his leg had been amputated, and one arm didn’t work after a stroke. He spent 3 days waist-deep in the pit. Mr. Winesett was saved by a mailman who came by and heard a weak voice crying for help from the backyard.The elderly veteran almost died because he had to breathe poisonous fumes. He was bitten by rats and exhausted by a 3-day lack of sleep, hunger, and stress.You might think that these people are extremely happy and believe they were saved by a divine intervention. But you can’t disagree that every one of them fought for their life. And these stories prove that all of us have a hidden and unlimited power.You can find your own reasons to win. And who knows? Maybe your way will motivate other people as well.
