Below is a extremely truthful quote from a disabled person whose documentary is featured from time to time on cable's independent channel. I saw it a long time ago and this man was disabled and in an iron lung and fought to remain at home with a caretaker that would come in from time to time. He was able to use a computer through special means and his caretaker would take him for "walks around the city" for short times to give him some sense of life even though he was disabled. He lost his battle for life but his thoughts through his writings remain and you can catch some of them below at his web site. "I want people to think of disability as a social problem . . . . Everyone becomes disabled unless they die first." Mark O’Brien July 31, 1949 – July 3, 1999. Here's a writing by Mark O'Brien http://www.pacificnews.org/marko/930202-disabled.html Here's Mark O'Brien's Web Page that he had, including his poems and many of his writings. http://www.pacificnews.org/marko/ A good rule of life is do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup |
