Disabled people were put on this planet for a reason
They are here to teach us valuable lesson
Acceptance.
The Blind can not see poverty, skin color, sexuality, differences, etc.
The Mute can not cuss, verbally abuse, etc.
The Deaf can not hear drama, racism, media, etc.
The Mentally Ill savor innocence.
The Crippled defeat self-consciousness, stereotypes, etc.
The Poor teach us how to be appreciative.
The Disabled define gratefulness, perfection, morals, etc.
The Disabled are the celebrated race with insight on a greater perspective.

The author's comments:
This idea came to me when I observed and was inspired by a blind man, realizing all that disabled humans have to teach us. They should be celebrated.
