                                  An Eye-witness…

The person who is beneficial for others, for the society and for his own self is called the able

person. Able in a sense that he has the ability to work in a proper way not only for him but for

those who belongs to him. Contrary to it, people considered a person with some physical

disability a disable or unuseful for the society.

While walking around the street, a number of scenes are there to observe. A number of things

that are ignored by us. But the one, who grabs your feet and stoned you is to see a person

having no legs or arms, on wheel chairs or just pulling himself on the road side, knocking the 

windows of cars. We look at them with great sympathy, toss some coins to them and move  

forward.

I haven’t decided to write about those who don’t have hands or any other physical disability. I 

am forced to write about the complete people having everything but still needs people’s 

sympathies because majority of the complete people are disable. Yes!! They are.

Thoughts are what makes you good or bad. In my view, the person with unhealthy thoughts is 

the one who is curse for the society. If a person pollute the society by his thoughts he is spoiling 

everything. Mental disability is something which can not be seen and can not be recognized 

easily. We can cope with any physical disability because the physical disabilities can be seen. 

The matter is with the disability which is invisible.

This our mind who made us disable. Our mind orders us to do any action. The commands 

given by brains are followed by every system of the body. So the matter is that we should direct 

our minds. We should direct it to the right way. I am leaving a question here, are we doing 

justice to ourselves?? Are we making our self useful for those who belongs to us??

“ Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I can’t 

do this, I can’t do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked 

out the fear, and I did it.”
