the less fortunate

Society has forgotten the less fortunate and those who are disabled mentally physically emotionally and psychologically continue to be judeged merely in the sense that people have segregated them form society in the sense that they refuse to date them...to communicate with them....okay now communicate? what about becoming friends with the gravely disabled? I too am disabled with bipolar disorder and I know how it feels to be neglected and so I write this message on the subject...

how do the retarded people feel?

all my life I struggled with my family discouraging me and pushing me to the edge of stress and stress being my weakness and they knew it...would get me into the mental institution....

how do they treat you in there you ask?

from my opinion I tried to act right because of the fear that I had been stabbed in the but with needles and medicated...at younger ages just for being a little hyper...in that I would walk around bored and just space out in those place because there is absolutely nothing to do sometimes....and yet phsychologically I felt good when I finally got to go outside in the patio....okay that is understandable because it is better that no one would run away who really needed to be in there

yet...why are people treating the less fortunate who are in the streets also as if they are less then human? I will speak on testimony about that.

there was once a story of a church who needed a new pastor....the next sunday, a man comes in dirty and with old clothes and sits in the fron pew....
when the church saw this man they tried to usher him to the back of the church because they didn't feel He should be in the front .... yet as the man gets up he walks up to the stage and says,
"i was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat,
I wa thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
I came to this church to feed you it seems I have entered a church that you will not receive me.

the audience was silent for they knew that he was the pastor

the pastor said....I had a feeling this was going to happen but I had to teach this church a lesson
for had this been real ... it would have been a real disrespect to ourselves

God would have mercy on this church and I also forgive but remember the lesson
for today is have compassion for everyone....now go home and we will talk again next week.

and so the church went home and prayed and asked for forgiveness for what they had done.

yet forget not how the people like those who are retarded feel....treat them as you would treat your brother
for they are human beings

Yeah,it's the truth...if we only practice and put it in our heart what the bible says... in John 15:12 This is my command that you love one another as I have loved you.

Thank you for opening my heart more...God bless you!

Good stuff, say on! Go were the spirit leads.

I will post one more message on this subject becaseu it is a very dear subject to me...all my life I have been judeged for my disability and girls look at me that tremor in my whole body...yet they do not understand that when you take medications (same as anyone that takes medices for any illness regardless...there can be sideeffects like you...I'd rather not gross anyone out...but anyways why judge me...I have been verbally and physically and psychologically abused and I still stand on God for He has blessed me with so many gifts and talents just don't know why being disabled makes people want to turn the cold should...we are humans ... we are all equal in God eyes being God's children...we all have strengths and weaknesses...but before you judge or criticize a person understand from their perspective how it feel to be in their shoes...now the poor and homeless are also judged wrongly when probably they have given up on life for trying so hard to get out of the gutter and have no good clothes...so they can't get a job because they smell...now consider how much the worse life is because people put them down and say they are nothing but whinos ...or drug attics....those words can slice through a person soul!

well please people have consideration all people love even your enemy....for think abou this...some one bullied you last year yet you had compassion and forgave him...today he looks at you as his role model for you taught him the true meaning of respect just through being kind.

I leave you with that.

Hi respectfully,
It looks like i have just discovered your OP and want to say thanks for posting. I didnt see you in the new members forum, and also want to welcome you-).

Very recently a child was telling abt arriving and seeing an old man w/ a child who smelled, who sat at the jeepney while they waited for it to leave. Said some of the passengers were bowed or covering their noses sort of... Then i said, why, the man and i were talking earlier before the jeepney came, and child was like, You were? (Wasnt sure if it was clear how i said it... that i went out of the house much earlier than my child, and was at the waiting shed a while. But i had to go my way and did not ride the same jeepney).

Very touching posts!
