Have you ever tried putting yourself in somebody else's shoes trying to imagine or feel what that person is going through? Maybe if we do this sometimes,we'd show love to people. It is a pathetic story for those with one ailment or the other because the society do not want to be associated with them. Looking at the case of people living with HIV/AIDS, it is not the HIV that kills them but the rejecton they suffer.
A pal of mine was narrating her odeal with a guy she met in a clinic to me. This pal of mine happens to be have Sickle cell anaemia and d guy sitting next to her at the clinic reception got to know about her medical status, and you won't believe the things he said to my pal.
The guy told my pal he know of a cure and that he can help with the necessary contacts. My pal turned the offer down. The guy then said she is not likely to find a life partner as nobody wants to marry someone whose life span is shaky and would be in and out of the hospital. That she is not likely to live long and all sort things that I can't possibly state here.
Parents at times don't help matter. Some see it as a waste of resources taking care of children with disabilities or trminal ailments, and so the child is neglected. Those who manage to take care of the child count what and what they have done at any little offence or thing the child does.
The long and short of this is to show LOVE and CARE to people around us. A smile could go a long way. You never can tell what a word of encouragement or inspiration could do. Lets give HOPE to the HOPEless and we'd see how well they can do in life.
And to those going through one thing or the other (ailment, disability or what have you), you can make it. Disability is not Inability. You are an Impossible Equation for the devil to Solve, a Question he cannot Answer because YOU are Wonderfully and Fearfully made!
I love you all and God bless you!
