Part of the Problem

“Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that

it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear

or walk or do other things that many of us take

for granted. But what of people who can't feel? 

Or talk about their feelings? 

Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? 

What of people who aren't able to form close and strong

relationships? And people who cannot find

fulfillment in their lives, or those who have

lost hope, who live in disappointment and

bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? 

These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”
