DISABILITY IS A MATTER OF PERCEPTION:

Published on: June 24th,2020

SYMPATHY IS A GREAT THING FOR THE ONE WHO IS SHOWING IT OR FOR THE ONE WHO IS TOLERATING. Disability truly is a matter of perception. As lord Buddha has said, “WHAT WE THINK, WE BECOME”. Most people with disability face them with a bravery that most of us, who often complain about “ the little insignificant things of life” , cannot imagine. We never imagine how blessed we are and all of the problems are just in our heads. We have been blessed with a perfectly fine body, if you are able to read this article you are blessed by god. You can operate a laptop and don’t have dyslexia, WOW! If you are able to read, write, hear and say your opinion, you are blessed totally. But still we tend to give up so easily. Lost a relationship? Cut your arm .. SERIOUSLY, people crave for this life that you have today? Failed a test or failed in your goals or career? Jump off the bridge. These are never ever the solutions.

An excellent example of this is “MUNIBA MAZARI: THE IRON LADY OF PAKISTAN.”Keeping all the anti- national stuffs aside, the inspiring journey of this lady is a must hear. She faced a serious car accident across 10 years ago which took her leg and she was at null fault. She had around 20 injuries and her spine got injured. The doctor told that she would not be able to hold a pen again, despite she wanted to be an artist. She wasn’t able to wake up from the wheelchair ever in her life and not be able to be a mother. That was devastating for her but how the history will remind hr through the memory of a woman who never gave up is a true inspiration. And that time the only words that kept her was , “this too shall pass. God has a greater plan for you. I don’t know what it is, how long will it take? But he surely has”.

Other examples are Helen Keller, an extremely sharp person who carried her graduation despite being deaf and dumb. Stephen Hawking was an extraordinary scientist who is still an inspiration and a mysteriously-able man.

“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.”

-Martina Navratilova. We tend to see a "disability" through our own eyes rather than the eyes of those who have the disability. The society should help them in a normal education rather than the ‘special’ one and more accessibility should be provided to them to aid them to achieve their dreams. The message that a child with a disability receives about himself from his environment determines to a large extent his feelings about who he is, what he can do and how he should behave.
