Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I think that in generail, not just LP's but all disabled individuals alike need to a good book on topics not only that touch on sexuality bettween disabled and non disabled's LP's etc., How it affects us and how to aproach it and handle it etc. I have seen often that insecurty, Jealousey and possesiveness is also another very very imortant topic to focus on. Why are so many people so jealouse to the point that they will hurt manipulate and sometimes even kill a mate, ex mate, a lover, etc? Is it really worth it? Does it really solve anything or make that person more happy? No, in fact most of the time they then become worse! Where is it written, and by who, that ANYONE OWNS ANYONE? We are ALL only in owbership of ourselves, if we did own others then this would mean we have the right to rape, put wives or husbands thru whatever wee see fit for them or treat them abussaive, it would mean that once we say " I do " we have the right to do nearly anything we want to and the other person just has to deal with it. These were all rules probably designed and promoted by narrow minded selfish men, possably founding fathers who were probaby cheating on their wives themselves, yet didn't want their wives to do it to them. There are no garentees to anything in this life other than we are born and we die and that's it. We hope to have a loving an understanding relationship evolve out of it, but if things don't work out for whatever reaon, that doesn't give anyone the right to do harm to someone no matter what. That is supposed to be up to God or the courts or whoever. So many people out their are just even so sick minded that they will stoop as low as to use their own childern as tools to harm that childs other parent. Personally I feel that legally if a parent does this, their child should be taken away from them because they are " Unfit " to be a good parent and are bad role models. That, like other things is a form of abuse to a child and leaves permanent scares on a child forever. We all get frustrated and angry from time to time, were all only human but that give no one the right to take our anger out on others. We need to be able to get along together, even more so in the disabled comunity, because no one else out there understands us or gives a crap about us unless it's some pity thing or they think were cute becauise wre small. Most of the time the genrail public, the majority do not and never ever will see the disabled and equel to them. Yes, things are much better, but, things will always be this way. Too many people are just much to " Uptight " about words and images of the disabled, most of really means nothing, we don't have to read things we don't like, we don't have to watch TV shows we don't like or listen to things people say. Sometimes I think that some people just want to hear about or see these things to be able to have things to complaine about because some of them are unhappy and misserable themselves. I have done it out of frustration and anger myself, it's just not worth it, not worth the stress and aggravation it causes. These are all very good topics for a book, how do we deal with these things? How do we turn things around to be more possative and put the past behind us, I am no devout Christain or anything but there is a story about a woman turning into a piller of salt that really has some very deep meaning to it. This story tells the woman to leave her past behind and DO NOT LOOK BACK! No matter what! What did she do? She looked back and turned to stone! I see this in some ways as possably not literail but as an example to us all. If your past is full of horrable things that have nothing good to offer. Get away from it, don't look back ever! Because when we look back on the past and obsess on it, it turns us all to stone, makes ud bitter and hard. Sure great and wonderfull memories age great to remember but obsessing on all that dark stuff is not. What I have learned is, if you have people in or around your life who cause negative energy, even if they are family or friends, you have to seperate yourselves from them completly, because for whatever reason, they are unhappy and misserable enogh to find other misserable people to join in with them, together they will destroy a person. Often times cause you to go nuts or even become ill! I feel so much better now, I have new friends and people I love who are not messed up inside their heads. It's not always easy to cut off people we love, but sometimes it's either them or us, no one is worth making yourself crazy or ill over, no one. I wish you all the best and keep up with the great posts! Kurt~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
