“Part of the problem
with the word 'disabilities'
is that it immediately
suggests
an inability to see or hear
or walk or do other things
that
many of us take for granted.
But what of people
who can't feel?
Or talk
about their feelings?
Or manage their feelings
in constructive ways?
What of people
who aren't able to form close
and strong relationships?
And people
who cannot find fulfillment
in their lives,
or those who have
lost hope,
who live in disappointment
and bitterness
and find in life
no joy,
no love?
These, it seems to me,
are the real disabilities.”
- Fred Rogers
