Once upon a time it occurred to me that
disability isn't always a metter of the eye. I can easily see a
broken arm, a wheelchair, a cast, a bruise, dripping blood – all of
the skin deep injuries and what comes with them. But what about the
aching of a soul or a broken heart? Those can paralyse even more
efficiently than an attack. Those may not be visible but are just as
valid. Yet people with broken minds don't get provided with car
parking spots. I am not saying that any disability is more worthy of
attention than the other but... It bothers me. The social injustice.
It's a natural instinct to help a person on a wheelchair to get into
a shop but at the same time we never think to help a person
struggling with anxiety to order food? Why is kindness offered only
to those who visibly need it? I believe we all are disabled in one
way or another. It may be due to an unfortunate event, our
upbringing, our character or DNA, an accident or trauma... anything
and everything really. We all have our scars, visible or not. Let's
bare this thought in our minds - all people are fragile, all people
are broken. Or have been. Or will be. All people are people. And we
all deserve a parking spot.
