Reon Schutte has led a remarkable life. Reon fixated on the single hole in the floor where the 50 prisoners were allowed to use as a toilet. It was never cleaned and it had a terrible odor. Interestingly enough, Reon said the odor was not noticed after some time of being routinely exposed to it. But he wanted the toilet cleaned. So, one day when he was given a small amount of water as happened once per month, he got up and went to the messy hole in the floor and with his bare hands and that small amount of water, he cleaned the feces from the floor and the hole.

The rest of the prisoners grew very silent at this unusual behavior. He cleaned the hole in the floor each month for some time until one day another prisoner stood and said, "It's my turn today. He also made a point of the situation he was in being one where he first wished he was anywhere by where he was, in other words he thought life would certainly be better "there" and it did not matter where "there" was.

However, when he decided that he would take control of his choices each day regardless of where he was, he learned another truth that had great impact on him. He learned to accept the limitations on his physical state and not allow that to negatively influence his mind. He learned to live in the present and appreciate being alive each day. Reon got very sick and was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
