On the other hand, how do you look or perceive a person with a permanent disability ?
Thank you for sharing |
first question : i have no experience as i did not have to face such case . but i can try to imagine how painful and difficult the first periode can be . (psychological trauma , depression....) the family and friends are extremely needed during this periode as well as a psychologycal and specialised medical help .
second question : i will look at a disabled person as i do to any other person , i dont see why i should look or perceive them differently . i think with proper help , reeducation, and good will they are capable to be active and productive in their society in the case you mentioned (loosing legs) the person still have his/her hands , eyes, voice ... brain so they can very well integrate social and active life . on another side i will want to see our society cooperating more and our government more concerned in this issue to help those with disability find good care (specialised institutes and job opportunities)

Therefore, and in both cases you can't be sorry for him, being sorry for him is against God's will, it's like objecting his decision. |
i believe God is all love , forgiveness and mercy , so based on that i cant imagine that the handicap is a punishement . it is God's will ? i believe God has for each and every person a plan but not a punishment .

Tom Whittaker: Whittaker's right foot needed to be amputated following a car accident in 1979. Following this serious accident, he regained his strength and continued climbing. On May 27, 1998, on his third attempt, Whittaker reached the summit of Mt. Everest, a lifelong dream, making him the first person with a disability to accomplish this feat.
Frida Kahlo was crippled by polio and later in a bus accident that injured her spine. While recuperating, she began to paint images seen through her pain .
in old times they use to believe that a handicap was the result of sins , if a baby is born disabled they use to say he is the result of his parents sins (malediction), today we all know that this is not true there is scientific/medical explanation or accidental reasons behind the handicap . is it God will ? maybe , but i will not call it is God's punichment .

... but yes it will be God's will because I agree with you that everything happens in our life, happens for a reason.... As you said, those things can be good or bad, the important thing is to read the message behind it and dont get stuck in it.
