@ op blindness

Outstrip:

I think it is having a brain and refusing to use it

iice:

Gotta agree.

Outstrip:

I work with mentally disadvantaged people and sometimes you see them work so hard to just put two and two together to complete a simple task. It is amazing. They are so determined to do something as simple as tie their shoes laces. Then I see typical people who have no handicap in the typical sense that are just so mentally lazy. It makes me want to flip my wig. I honestly see that as a handicap. You realize that some people are not equipped with the ability to engage their fully functioning brain

tpia@:

Sometimes i wonder at the kind of s.tupidity which makes people open threads of this nature.

May God have mercy on we humans.

Why do people look at somebody and say thank God i am better than that person because i have some physical attribute which is better than that person's own.

Do you know your future?

Why are some folks so d.aft.

And is it by force to start a thread.

Siena:


I agree. For some non-mentally disadvantaged people, a healthy, fully-functional brain is wasted, their bony craniums are merely housing their grey matter. If the brain went missing, they wouldn't even notice the loss.

My sister too works with mentally disadvantaged youngsters, and it's really rewarding to see them get to grips with the simple tasks we take for granted.

I fail to see the purpose of this thread, started by someone who appears to have a disability that hasn't yet been classified, so has no name.

Emmyk:

thanks. Untill then.

Outstrip:

Okay this thread has become funny. I was hoping to gently educate the original poster that what they consider a handicap is a strength for many. Our culture really sees any sort of physical or mental handicap as a death sentence when these people can actually live very fufilling and rewarding lives

I was hoping to gently educate the original poster

Emmyk:

  I dont know anything bout my future,

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD

freecocoa:

I only walked into this thread to know what would warrant such a thread title. And now reading what Op wrote just makes me want to send him a well packaged punch/slap via DHL.
I wonder how someone with a brain like this could be writing about not liking any disability when he is clearly disabled upstairs. What an IRONY.

Emmyk:

others have said it. And I already know I'm wrong. So, what's your point? That I'm brainless or the punch you wanna send?

Siena:

^^^ Freecocoa, let it drop. At least Emmyk's acknowledged he was wrong, not many on Nairaland would ever admit they've erred, even when caught with a hand in the jam jar, they'd still say the hand you saw wasn't theirs. Despite the fact it was attached to their bodies.

Let it go.
