There comes a moment, every once in a while, when I feel extremely positive about myself. The past two days have seen numerous such moments. The National Conference on "Disability Experiences in Social Science Research" concluded today. Although an involuntarily inclusion to the list of volunteers, the experience was worthwhile. It also gave me an opportunity to understand and observe what lay ahead of me. A gateway to the future, so to say.
Can I see myself performing this role?
With a lot of apprehension initially, the answer is a definite yes.
The confusion of grappling with the correct definition of disability is something that I can identify myself with. For what is normal to me, may be abnormal for you and vice versa. In a world of the so called 'disableds', we could be the one with handicaps. I think the overall tendency to indulge in selfish objectives and refrain from eradicating the complexities of life is a major road block for most of us.
How to identify them?
How to deal?
I think these are issues we have to sort out by our lone selves. Something that needs to be uncovered from within.
