Importance of education for people with disabilities

  Definition of education: Education is a process to achieve knowledge and skills. It makes us aware of things around the world. Without education, we would be in the world of darkness and follow anything blindly without their deep understanding. “The education and training of children are among the most meritorious acts of mankind” (The quote from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the eldest son of  Baháʼu'lláh , the founder of the Baha'i religion) . It is the most praiseworthy act for the development of the world. When we have a piece of knowledge about something, we are independent and have self-confidence. We can distinguish between right and wrong. An uneducated person will always rely on others. They can never use their minds. They cannot make their own decisions. If a person , who always asks questions from others, what would be the difference between a person who questions and a person who answers? T here should be some particular sources from where they provide the answers. So, everyon

Who is a true friend?

Definition of a friendship: Friendship is one of the best and purest relationships in the world. A true friend will always give the right advice to their friend and correct their mistakes. Friendship should not be shown in words alone but it should be expressed from the bottom of the heart without any expectation, because once an expectation has been raised, there would be no real friendship. Real friends always share their feelings, happiness, sorrows, and many other emotions among themselves. If we are in some problems, first they will encourage us to solve our problems by ourselves, if we do not succeed to solve the problems, they will try their best to solve the problems and sacrifice for each other. In times of difficulty and sorrow, our friends give us hope and strength. Even if they are not able to help us, they can emotionally help us. Who can be a true friend? A true friend can be anyone who wants our betterment. They can be our parents, brothers, sisters, family, relatives, o

Are we solely responsible for where we stand in life?

I think it totally depends on a person’s capabilities and limitations. For instance:  a  person who is absolutely not capable  of doing  anything because of his physical or mental condition   should not be blamed by us . We should measure his deeds while comparing with his condition, and try to help him to stand on his own feet. If a person, is absolutely fine, physically and mentally, but not doing anything, then we can blame him.  M aybe he is not doing anything, because of his laziness. For these people, there should be some counselors, who can talk to them, and make them realize that they should do something, or the counselors can put some ideas in front of them. What they can do, and how they can do it. Even so many physically challenged had done such a tremendous thing which is beyond the reach of many physically normal people. One of the greatest examples is "Stephen William Hawking". As many of us know about him,  We know what he was  being paralyzed, has given to the

  Conversation: The conversation is a process of exchanging our thoughts, feelings, or emotions with others. There are multiple ways to express our thoughts and feelings with others. For instance: By speaking, writing,    sign language, etc. Speaking is the most common and comfortable method to express our thoughts and feelings. We can talk directly face-to-face with people, or we can have a phone call, video call. Nowadays, zoom group meetings are getting very popular. Thanks to all these technologies, it seems like, this whole world is a room, and we are talking with each other in this room.   Unfortunately, in this room, there are many people who are not able to speak clearly or any single word.

My story

  Today I would like to share my views and feelings about disability. Earlier in my childhood when I went somewhere people used to see and would say various things about me. For example, they would say, ‘’why has God made you like this?”. Even today some people say such things. But, now, many people are aware of disabilities. I know, they were showing sympathy towards me, but still, it hurts my feelings. Because I am already concerned with my problems and when someone wants to make me realize it then it hurts me emotionally. I know it is a natural feeling f or everyone. When I see so many differently-abled people, who are in more difficult conditions than me and are still happy and enjoying their life that gives me strength and hope. I feel as if my problem is nothing in front of them. And I thank Almighty God for whatever I have.                                                My Grandfather (Dr. H.M.Munje), My father, and me I feel if any differently-
