My dear brother and sister (s), God is with us.I think disability is not inability.Disability is an art.It is an ingenious way to live.So our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

Someone explain to me why this poor young man was having stones thrown at him? how does having a disability make him any less of a person? surely he has the same rights as anyone else? should be able to live his life the best he can? i actually got a little teary after watching this. not gonna lie
