what we do not hear a lot: disability

"When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter".Teri Garr


disability is often described to as physical impairment,intellectual impairment,sensory impairment,mental illness and all the other chronic diseases which prevent a person from leading a normal life
people with disability are the souls of our humanity they not only see the world differently but fell it differently too.they have a pure heart with no sorrow or evil. some people think that people with disability have no role to play in this world,this is totally wrong. people with disability are not losers they are survivors their sole reason is fighting their disability and making life meaningful.the world is designed for the  normal people and disabled face a lot of problems of fitting in.fitting in is what they strive for and after that all the other things are not so hard for them.this is the reason why some of them create miracles.i have been very close to disabled people and what i see is, love which comes from the core of their heart and the real human nature which this world is lacking.
whether it be stephen hawkings,helen keller,stevie wonder,franklin roosevelt,they went on to achieve what normal people could not do.and showed that even they can excel and pursue their dreams.they have become an inspiration to all of us and shows us what hard word and determination can do.the disable d people are known to be passionate,having positive attitude,being trustworthy,and have the will to go the extra mile.
their problems are what we don not even think of like they cant do whatever they want,they cant hangout,they find difficulty in moving,hearing,expressing their feeling and the problems they face,they find it difficult to understand why people fight, why there are riots,why we dont love each other and why we are greedy.
if you want to see real love,honesty and kindness meet a disabled.we are the ones that are disabled ,we have many things that they dont yet we fail to live our life to the fullest.this is what i hear a lot from them.i hang around more with disabled people than with the normal people and what i found is true happiness.we all have a pure self somewhere deep down ,and he is fighting all the greed ,sorrow,cruelty and tries to show up and to save us yet it cant take the load of that pandora and dies.being disabled is not what you actually may think of .you may wonder that they have got all the facilities they need and the government has given them a lot ,but they still have a lot of stuggle to go through,
whether it be stairs in public places or shopkeepers assuming they are stupid.taxis passing by and hotels not allowing them.we all thinks and believe that they got rights ,but if you have a clear insight they actually dont.
who would actually care for 2% of the population.do you think they can get married as easily as we can get or would you accept a proposal from a disabled .their problems are outnumbered yet they dont complain and go on to live their life to the fullest.all we can do is love them and treating them as normal.
