I haven’t had one of those ‘moments’ for ages. Where something seemingly normal and uneventuful just makes you kind of happy, and you sort of smile in your heart (even if your face is quite stoned out…)
For the past few days, on occasion I’ve had a leisurely stroll through the plaza near my house (so i can cool down with the air-con before i hike home…) and I’ve noticed something different these days…
There are more people who are wheelchair-bound who are either independently wheeling themselves around the place or being accompanied by someone.
It’s heartlifting to finally see that society is becoming more open towards the disabled, instead of staring at them with curious, sometimes even prying looks.
It’s even more heartlifting to think of how much courage that person must possess to venture out into a public area with what many would consider a social stigma.
YO GO PEOPLE!
I shall start counting my blessings… :)
