Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
The IDS thread reminded me of a little experiment carried out on TV last year. Here is a modified version for you all to try.
You will need:
1 pair of sunglasses
Vaseline
2 mitten style oven gloves
Kettle
Tea/coffee
Sugar
Water
Milk
Bread
Butter
Filling of your choice
3 or 4 round stones.
Smear the glasses with the vaseline and put the stones in your shoes and put on the oven gloves. Now, turn off the lights.
All you have to do now is make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich. Then carry it to the table or your armchair and eat your sandwich and drink your beverage. Then take everything back to the kitchen and wash up your dishes.
Let me know how you get on.
All of us have the potential to become disabled in a heartbeat. Just try this short experiment and then think about competing in the job market, going to work everyday and/or trying to live on nothing because you have lost all benefits. After all, you are able bodied enough to walk and feed yourself. |

The disabled being subjected to the ability tests, as well as all the propaganda that's been fared out, serving to whip up hatred by people against each other has somewhat worked, judging by things I've seen and heard about. I work with disabled people, and it's sickening the way that things have become.
I'd also like to add to the list of items/requirements - go without sleep for a couple of days minimum, so that your mentality/psychological health is somewhat lacking, then try to maintain control of life's little chores etc. |

I thought that might too much of a challenge to set for people. The tiredness adds its own special dimension to the challenges faced. Plus the effort of being stoical and just getting on with it. |

Sounds like a normal day to me. Disability comes in many forms as does compassion. I was told my one of my grand mothers that the worst thing she could lose was her sight as she read so much. She lost her sight at seventy and as a young man I spent hours reading to her, it not only passed the hours for her it increased my vocabulary and my understanding of the world. I would read book upon book until my accident that took my sight. On my bed side table is a half read copy of the art of war, a book I had always wanted read. My daughter who is approaching seven in a few months and reads to her dad every night. Her target is to finish reading my book on my bed side table.
I started learning Braille and now my teacher has been made redundant due to lack of funds. People I have gotten to know that have guide dogs are being told that their benefits might be reduced because their dog has made them more mobile. Let those who want to take benefits spend time living like those that need the benefits. Most disabled people do not want hand outs but a hand up |
