Disabled.

Been talking to a few disabled people lately and in the conversations they all said that when they became disabled through illness, accidents etc most of there close friends deserted them. Came round to say hello when they got home from the hospital and then they were gone forever.
Why do people do this? Two reasons I think. Firstly people are not good at dealing with disability. They look at someone who is disabled and all they can see is the disability not the person.Secondly there is the old, there by the grace of god goes I, and I don`t think people like to be reminded that they could so easily end up disabled as well.
The solution to this is easy. Stop treating the disabled like they were aliens from out of space and make sure they are brought into main stream society. They need to be involved and accepted into all walks of our life. The fact that no ministers in our government are disabled is a disgrace, the fact that there are very few disabled people in the boardrooms of our major company`s is a disgrace. The fact that there are very few disabled people in the media is a disgrace.
Give the disabled a chance and then people will stop treating the disabled in the disgraceful way they do at prsent.
