I also find it interesting how there are entire organizations who all they do is find ways to end blindness altogether instead of helping people live with it. Sort of the cowards way out honestly. Can't live like a real human being and be tough enough to be a blind person in society. Foundation fighting blindness is a joke. #Blind
There are people who go the majority of their lives with sight then suddenly lose it. Saying they aren't human enough to live with being blind feels like a statement of superiority.
@gocu54 I won't argue with that, but say that to the 80 year old who still live on a farm and has no support or something along those lines.
When we get into the world of, you're not tough enough/human/man/what the hell ever else enough, we start ignoring the fact that people are human and not everyone is as resilient as someone, say, who was born with little to no sight from the beginning.
When people call another group not good enough for x reason, it just makes me think that somehow they are superior than them.
Not everyone has the capassity to just bounce back with a little training and effort.
That said, people should try for sure, but that doesn't always mean they are garanteed to pull through.
@Binder My neighbors hardly know I exist because the only time I go outside is to go somewhere or out to smoke. Then when they see me, they're like, "how long have you lived here?"
I'm more of a fox fur, as anyone who knows me will agree to. Like I even picked Fox as my last name during the name change thing because Vulpy be a vulpy.
But if any furry media ever made me ever question my fursona identification, it was a story about two tiger cubs who became the best of friends and later more. Was one of the most heartwarming fics I ever read, and I'm very glad I grabbed a copy of it before the fic disappeared off the net.
