The Disabled
0
I don't know if how I feel towards the handicapped is pity.
I was born with club feet, and for the first 4 years of my life my feet were in casts and braces after a series of surgeries. So I was effectively disabled during that time in my life and attended pre-school with a lot of far more disabled children than myself. However after everything my feet were 'repaired' and I was perfectly fine with no trace of my previous disability.
However this left me with the intense desire to not be around permanently disabled people. I know I can't help them so I just want to not be around them. I don't think its pity or fear. I just don't know what it is.

I suppose I pity them, but not the people that use it constantly as an advantage to get stuff or w/e.

No, I don't pity them. They are perfectly able to function in their own way. A lawyer my family hired (Husband of my mothers friend) was involved in a car crash when he was in his late twenties. Had a lobotomy and had roughly half of his brain removed. he studied and got his license back again and was in the courtroom defending people again.
Though I am speaking of physical disabilities. Those who are mentally handicapped , I do pity since they mind can think around a physical disability (deaf,blindness,loss of a limb) but, if you brain is damaged or severely impaired you are basically S.O.L.
