In Tonga our population is 100,000+ and only in 2016 our census recorded 96,000 people living with disabilities.One way or another we all have a disability that limits us from achieving certain aspects of life. It is easy to say i have this and that condition,but to what extent must we go to in life.We have to conquer our fears we all have to uplift ourselves from the worst.I am a diabetic and one day when i am not careful i can become blind and than i will be a number added to the census.But i want you to know that my other senses will still work,i can still walk,i can still hear ,i can still think,talk to the people that i love.We spoke of many things that limit the disabled group.I am working with one who has walking difficulties but the rest of his body works perfectly. So why must we continue to label ourselves? Well let us leave that to society and the people around us.How we the disabled are treated is just the reflection of the people and their upbringing,nobody seems to pay enough attention only when they w to be nasty.Disabled people are not aliens and if they are born with health conditions we must not classify them as special or curses to the family line,we are all capable of making our society a safer place.People living in mental asylums are the only people who i know need special attention.because their minds are in a phase they need severe attention they cannot think for themselves. I will advocate for people who need help to become better but i would not advocate for someone to sit and wait for a miracle to land on their laps.Thank goodness for high advanced technology to impair blindness and wheel chairs for those cant walk.Bravo and hats off to the providers who look after them and the strange hands that help them.For those who are blunt and discriminate please look yourselves in the mirror your minds are disabled too!!
