Don’t make fun of people with disabilities. Whether its mental or physical problems. They are people too, they have feelings.
No one has it all, no one is perfect and this should be one of the major reasons we shouldn’t make fun of people who find it less privileged.
I once had two friends who never liked each other, at some points I felt they could end their enmity because of me, but it never seemed to happen.
One was a lame girl who has been in a wheelchair since she was born and the other was one who was perfect as she always described herself.
The perfect fellow never saw any reason why I should associate myself with a physically challenged person, she said they weren’t like us and hence should roll with complete humans.
At some points, I had to remind her that these physically challenged persons are humans too and they have feelings and she shouldn’t say bad things to them, but it was like I was pouring water on a hard rock. She always reminded her that she will never be able to walk and she’s a nuisance; she said all these things forgetting karma is real.
I didn’t want to stop helping my lame friend and I was always happy each time I wheeled her to the classes we have together, sometimes I let her do that, I don’t want her to feel like a liability.
During our final years, my perfect friend had an accident that left her in a wheelchair for years; it only took God’s intervention for her to walk again.
She now understood what it feels like to not be able to use your legs, especially in situations when you can’t help it.
