The Stroke of happiness! Man left unable to feel sad after having a stroke

When you hear about someone having a stroke you usually think of it as being a bad thing.  Often leaving people physically and mentally changed for the worse -you've seen stroke victims faces all leaned up so you know what I mean.

But when Malcolm Myatt had a stroke he literally couldn't be happier! It has left the 68 year old actually unable to feel sad!

The stroke happened in 2004 and he was hospitalized for 19 weeks.  He now has no function in his left arm and can only walk small distances and has to use a walking stick.  However he does have one of the best side affects anyone could wish for, he can't feel unhappy EVER! [source]

He was told by doctors that the stroke had hit the frontal lobe of his brain, which controls the emotions.

The retired lorry driver said: "I am never depressed. Being sad wouldn't help anything anyway. I would definitely rather be happy all the time than the other way round. It's an advantage really.
"The stroke could have become my worst enemy but I wouldn't let it. Now I barely even notice that I don't feel sadness.”

Beat this guy up, he'll be laughing at you.  Kill his dog, he'll look forward to buying a new one.  Take him to a funeral, he still can't hide his happiness  ...awkward!

This story makes me happy just reading it, and it just goes to show that good things can come from unfortunate events. Life is what you make it.

Look at this guy with no arms and no legs and he seems happy enough!
