That’s not only it, during his speech while receiving the prize, he noted on the power of love, which is beyond logic.

That they are not disabled, they are special. That they are not crazy, instead, they are beautiful. We often perceive them as unlucky for they are born different and can’t experience what we can. But actually, they are having a different experience, way beyond our comprehension, way beyond our defition of beauty and life. It teaches us that we are all having our own reality, our own problems, and our own experience. We might be going through rough waves but what is the strength of a wave when there is love mightier than our reason, beyond our comprehension.
