Different - Social Apartheid

Different, disabled, intellecutal handicapped, genetic disorder, if it is broke, do we have to fix it? Do we necessarily need to "solve" it.

If the disability is something damaged or broken through whatever cause that needs fixing, solving, what value are the human beings with the impairment does society place on them.

Why fix something that is not broke, are these human beings just different to the "norm" whose contribution to life is as valuable as any other human being.

What can the "norm" learn from those impaired? Instead of social apartheid the differences should be embraced, nutured and supported.

Human dignity should be offered to all those with impairments, disabilities, society offers "poor pathetic, sad, tradgic." view a token of charitable support. Divide or socially cull.

Diversity of the human condition colours the tapestry of the world. The "broke" human being is perfect, what is perfection? Perfection is absolute as imperfection is perfect in absolute, unique. All humans are, human beings just being human.

Metaphysical law on courage, strength, is demonstrated in action in everyday life by the "broke" human being. Impairment approaches life with extraordinary skill , navigation, and creation.

If the value of technology, social apartheid is overlooking the inherent dignity of human life hiding or screening out impairment/disabilty are we not screening/hiding the quintessential human.

Impaired, disabled, intellectual handicapped, are not " poor, pathetic, sad or tragic, " yet rich in courage persistence, focus, and fortitude. Social contstraints around this should be freed, celebrated and supported in every way as these human beings so richly deserve.
