I've even known disabled people who believe their disability was punishment either for themselves or their parents. <br /><br />While it's not religious, the anti-smoking, texting while driving, drunk driving, etc. advertisements don't actually help at all with this. They also use a "disability as punishment" motif.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266694020145632041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50244754270992148342014-05-29T08:29:53.495-04:002014-05-29T08:29:53.495-04:00'headdesk' means to drop your head onto yo...'headdesk' means to drop your head onto your desk is disgust and shock.Ettinahttp://abnormaldiversity.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-11967371004548042522014-05-29T07:07:27.663-04:002014-05-29T07:07:27.663-04:00If ye meet the abased or the down-trodden, turn no...If ye meet the abased or the down-trodden, turn not away disdainfully from them, for the King of Glory ever watcheth over them and surroundeth them with such tenderness as none can fathom except them that have suffered their wishes and desires to be merged in the Will of your Lord, the Gracious, the All-Wise. O ye rich ones of the earth! Flee not from the face of the poor that lieth in the dust, nay rather befriend him and suffer him to recount the tale of the woes with which God's inscrutable Decree hath caused him to be afflicted. By the righteousness of God! Whilst ye consort with him, the Concourse on high will be looking upon you, will be interceding for you, will be extolling your names and glorifying your action. Blessed are the learned that pride not themselves on their attainments; and well is it with the righteous that mock not the sinful, but rather conceal their misdeeds, so that their own shortcomings may remain veiled to men's eyes.<br /><br />Baha'u'llah<br /><br />I am sharing this quote from the writings of Baha'u'llah now because I think you are the downtrodden . . . (although this woman's treatment of you and her daughter is deplorable) - but rather because I believe she is one of the downtrodden - and she is trapped in a mindset that is more odious than the most miserable of prisons.

The word 'repent' literally means 'to think differently.'
