I think that there are bad times and good times. There has to be us sad loser folks to show the giddy happy people how they DON’T want to be. Light and darkness. We are the dark people, and we are meant to see darkness. We are the martyrs who are cursed to show everyone else how blessed they are. People never learn by education alone. They have to be shown. We don’t ever know what we have until it’s gone. Dark things happen to everyone, but you know the ones that are destined to darkness. They are the ones that don’t make it, so they can show the lighted people how bright they are. Good news for the lighted people, they don’t have to do a damn thing for us. Just bury us.

Love it!
The most offensive thing I’ve ever heard said about disability from able bodied people is this little gem….”God made the disabled to show us able bodied folks just how lucky we are.” Often said out of the mouths of moms and dads of disabled children, no less. I cannot say how much this statement infuriates me. As though their life as an able bodied person is so important that the wellbeing of others should be sacrificed to show them how good it is.
How does that quote have anything to do with this?
(not sure I want to hear this answer….)
I agree so much. It’s a nice way of looking at things.

@ bipolar, it is, obviously, referring to the idea of the post that well-off people believe that lowly people exist just to show them how well-off they are. If everyone was pretty, healthy, and smart, they say, then how would we be able to appreciate our beauty, health and intelligence. So they suggest- insultingly, that those who are not beautiful, healthy, and smart, exist just in order to show them how fortunate they really are
Don’t you think that it all pans out in the end? Like there’s a trade off of sorts? Let’s say you’re ugly, but you’re rich. Or if you’be got a mental disorder, but you have a plan. You could also be not very popular, but really intelligent. All I’m trying to say is everyone has high points and attributes, you just have to find them.
^^ definitely doesn’t pan out. If it were possible, imagine taking a normal person off the street and “infecting” them with Down Syndrome. They’d be begging to just die. Because that life is not good enough for them. And it isn’t, it’s not good enough for anyone.
I have to disagree with this. “People never learn by education alone they have to be shown” is demonstration not education? We are the dark people, we are only meant to see dark…….so that would mean light people are only meant to see the light. I can not agree with that. I can agree with we understand better after we lose something that brought us happiness. But why did it bring us happiness and why did we lose it are important lessons.
Death comes to us all, why put it off? My belief Is we are here to learn and better ourselves. More time allows for more learning.
Down Syndrome is a malfunction in your Dna chromosomes, it’s not contagious. It’s something you’re born with. Never has been a suicidal one on record either…
“Death comes to us all, why put it off?”
If you don’t believe in something that goes beyond this world you have no reason not to end your life right now.
or… every reason to milk it as much as possible, since this is all we will ever be.
Compared to “never again,” even a century of being human, isn’t that long. It’s definitely not long enough to do everything you’ll ever want to do.
Misfortune can strike anyone anywhere at any moment. Michael Schumacher personified invincibility and it’s difficult to imagine him in a weakened state. Things aren’t looking good for the 7 times champion.
Bipolar of course down syndrome is not contagious. I was giving an example “if you COULD infect someone with down syndrome….”
My disorder is very close to down syndrome and I am suicidal. I guarantee you that if everyone with Down syndrome and other kinds of mental retardation were intelligent enough to be self-aware, most would prefer death.
