Is Parkinson's a gift?
In an interview with CNN in 2010, Michael J. Fox had this to say about Parkinson’s disease:
“I refer to having Parkinson’s as a gift. People are dubious about this, but it’s a gift that keeps taking, because it’s really opened me up to more compassion.”
What do you think? Do you agree? You can read other motivational quotes from Michael here.

Oh no. Sorry I do not agree at all. You can be compassionate without having Parkinson. It is really not a gift!

No need to apologise! I hear where you’re coming from. I think it’s possible to gain compassion without PD, but I admit I sometimes comfort myself when facing difficulties by trying to identify lessons I can learn through the experience.
