disabilities

so i was watching "BABEL" yesterday...

and the japanese girl's character made me feel bad for her.

why do people insist on making fun of someone who has to wake up every morning to face the fact that they can't see... can't hear... can't speak... can't walk.. that they LOOK different from everyone else... that they CAN NEVER be what everyone seems to want them to be? do people even stop and think how that must feel? NO, they're too stuck on THEMSELVES, too stuck on how UNCOMFORTABLE that person, that THING, makes THEM feel.

be selfless, not selfish. kind and not crude.
