Why are disabled still second class?

How come disabled people are still second class people? 

Just now in Great Britain politic decided to cut the weekly money transfer to help survive the dayly life, with 30 Pounds. 

In Germany the AfD, a fashist party, now being more and more part of politic has in its agenda the cut of nearly all help for disabled people and want them also in prison if they are hard to handle like when they have a mental illness. 

Why is it that people think you must be stupid or not healthy in your mind when it is about people with MS and other body diseases or when they sit in a wheelchair because they maybe had an accident? Why is there still so less understanding about dementia?

I know long time ago, like hundred years ago, human kind did not knew better, but today, we should. Especially in the western world. How many science do you need to believe that? How many great examples do you need? I mean take Beethoven, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, John Nash or Hawking.... and all those around you... you mostly don't see or only on youtube maybe.

Why then so many think a disabled man can't be part of society? Why do so many think they can't work or help or even teach us a thing or two?

They are not lazy, they do not need some extra, they don't want something special, they just want the same as you. A life, respect and being part of all of us. 

Even when they need a lot of help, they help us to learn much about ourself. To be calm, to trust, to see and understand, to feel and not forget how vulnerable we are and that sometimes those "sick" people are stronger then the healthy one.  

Most of those disabled people would like to live on their own and have enough money so the need for extra help would be not necessary. But as it is because they are second hand people, they have less chances to learn proberly, to work the way they could and so they earn as less as possible. 

I remember very well that in the GDR (East Germany) disabled people got not many jobs to do. A human who had hearing problems got the choice of 20 different jobs and all but one was to work at a machine and do each day the same two task. 

If you could only understand that they can more then you let them, they would give. 

Yes there are those who will always be in need of someone to watch over them. 

But we are humans. What makes us better if we do not cherish our weak parts. We are all worth the same. We should all know that but we don't. 

I believe it is our duty to help the disabled people as a society. Then we would also watch our language more as we often use words wich discriminate the disbabled, as those words classify them worth less, sometimes worth nothing. 

Isn't it all a point of view? A man who is heard of hearing can work as good as you do, maybe even better, but that human is not at all automatically stupid, just because he hears less. A mental ill can produce dishes good as anyone else. Why then give them not a chance? Why do we already give the disabled children the feeling of being an outsider, not much worth and give them a much lesser chance? Yes, it all starts there. 

I am not saying we should take them as china and do all to compromise the illness. I believe that disabled people have to also go into the crowd and try to come in (not meaning: fit it). 

As a human hard of hearing by myself I know I can try to tell people to speak more clearly, or just more slow, but I know in the everyday life I have to expect that they don't do, as simple many forget, so I have to find a way to connect and if needed I must tell them, must please them to say things again or different. 

Disabled people are not helpless, if you teach them that they can do more then they believed.  

I say this as many parents of disabled children are a reason why they are quite helpless alone. My mother always thought me to do the things by myself. She sad, if you want it, then go ahead, find a way, just do. If you fail after all, then I can take a look and maybe help out. 

I am very grateful for that.

And by the way, a disabled person may be strong but if someone tells us in a negative way or just in fun why we can't what we can't, it hurts. 

It's like when I don't understand a second or third time, I get to hear like- what's wrong, are you hearing badder, is your aid off... but I simple do not understand sometimes and it's not my fault and so yes it hurts, it's a weak part as I feel disqualified, thought I know people don't mean that rude or mean. But it hurts.

That's the same with people who have dementia. They get hurt when you talk to them that way and when you believe they don't want to work with you, but the truth is, they simply can't, thought they try and are ashame in the same time. 

Feeling of being a second class is never a nice feeling and many should know that, but forget that when it is about disabled people. Sadly, for many it seems a fact that disabled means hopeless, just work and a thing you want to avoid seeing, as it shows you (unaware of that fact are the most) that you could be that person, it can be your future. 

No wonder many are so surprised if it happend to them and ask themself- why me?! But that question comes because it is seen as something negative. 

So put a little love in your heart and read about disabled people, get to know them, ask them about their lifes, what they feel, want and can. Help them to achieve as much as possible and make them be part of us. Watch your words and remember we are humans, we can help,  we know, we learn, we can understand, a gift only we humans have.. so let's use it!
