Didi7: I think that it's our respect and compassion (not really our pity), that persons who are differently-abled want. My brother has often spoken out (actively and loudly) about their needs, to all who he thought needed to hear, even our Government officials. He does not consider himself a "poor soul", nor does he encourage others with disabilities to think so of themselves. But he (and others like him) is human, with the same need for love and companionship, as we ALL have.
Perhaps it is the "elite" who are also "poor souls", since many still can't find themselves a DATE.
I'm not knocking 'disabled' people. I'm not knocking your brother.
I'm knocking attitudes towards 'disablity'.
Maybe I'm not doing a very good job of expressing myself.
I certainly don't think I need more respect, or compassion since becoming sick. A better designed shower and more reliable public transport system would be great, but I'm not quite sure why those things aren't automatic regardless of ability.
Didi7: Wow DL, maybe you were just too young at the time.
This is a 21 years old incident, I was 24-25 years old at that time. She was the first girl in my life who touched my heart. But she doesn't know anything about all this. I never told her about my feelings.
