What experiences do we share, and what barriers confront us? Is it possible to replace our contemporary, medicalized culture with something more representative of us as complete beings? Are we ready for a real sense of community yet?
I think so.
I like this one a lot - as it is the silent majority, the ones who don't care who gets displaced (people with disabilities), or discriminated against (same) in order to get that tax credit or lower that unemployment rate. I have found that my caregivers, or the bad ones, are the worst informed, know nothing about decisions made about thier organization nor can they even concieve that I or any of thier clients are equal humans to them. The cruelty of smug apathy. I like this one very much.
I have been a person with E. for over 50 years. My experiences and observations are my own. I hope to encourage a larger, more diverse dialogue to take place among ourselves as persons with epilepsy, and the general society. I believe it is time for a change in the way we see ourselves and our place in the world. I also believe that we are the only ones who can accomplish such a change.
