Rank .

Though most visually impaired youngsters are of the opinion that people with orthopaedic disabilities are worse off than themselves , a middle aged blind woman who is a teacher, rubbished their views saying ,that they were not mature enough and were not aware of the realities of life.

According to her mentally retarded persons[mrp] are worse off and have the unenviable position of being first in the table of disability followed by the visually impaired . Ortho's and others come lower down in the scale ,that means ,others are better off !

She reiterated that whilst every other handicapped person can find some means or the other to support themselves , take decisions and lead an independent life the mrp's are condemned to a life time of dependency . It starts from the cradle and ends in the grave.

A counter argument would be, that those mentally retarded people won't even realize their pain.

In the end all of us would perish. Knowing the pain and perishing is worse than not knowing it at all.

This is just a view for the sake of argument :-)

Hope you're doing good!

I dont think so...as being the case with my own brother...They also understand a little bit of the reality and at times worry about their disablity.
