I Define Me

I was captivated by this brief commercial advertisement I have seen while surfing the net. I thought that you might find the content intriguing like how I felt initially.



Disabled... Yes, we see them everywhere: on the road, at the mall, in school campuses, etc. Some may be walking with a guide, others with an assistive orthoses such as a wheelchair or a cane while limping through the destination they are treading; while a few could be deformed all over or would talk with a slur.

Sad to say, a common scenario that may have a negative connotation to the word, "disabled" are those we frequently see on the thoroughfares begging and making it their way of living.

You stare, gawk, mock, laugh, are often the reactions when you see one. When I was younger and rode the school bus, the sight of any disabled person we saw was the source of ridicule to me and my friends! Yes, I was guilty and like you, I too wondered for the reasons and history behind the disability, the life prior to the injury and the many how's the injured is coping with the lofty issues prevalent.

Would you pause for a moment please? Does anyone give you the pleasure of having the feeling of being inferior over them? Deep down your heart, did you ever feel "disabled" because of a skill you lack, the demise of a significant other, a failed relationship, of having the lack of something or a horrible episode in your past?

I am disabled. I have many disabled friends and acquaintances I came across when I immersed myself in the sector and found out that like you, we are too! There are the professionals, the politicians, the students, the athletes, the dreamers as well as the nincompoops. Some were born with the disability while others acquired it. T

The logo posted below is a a great find positively describing and depicting the many types of persons with disability.

Tell me what you have in mind :D What defines you?
