Day 1789: Never change yourself for other people

Never change who you are for other people’s benefit – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 :  31 PM on day 1789  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray, read Matthew 21,    publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –A zebra’s stripy coat is thought to disperse more than 70 per cent of incoming heat, preventing the animal from overheating in the African sun. – have breakfast, make sandwiches for Cynthia’s ( our housekeeper’s) neighborhood with mom’s help as part of  Virginia’s Sandwich Run – (thank you sisi Cynthia  for all your help) –    and  promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 441 raised so far (so grateful  :) )

Yesterday I got into a bit of hot water with one of my loved ones because the day before  I shared A Woman Who Was Paralyzed At Her Bachelorette Party Is Trying To Change The Way People See Those With Disabilities on my personal Facebook account I knew some people wouldn’t be pleased with me sharing the article but even after my conversation with said loved one who was concerned what others would think  I didn’t regret sharing the article because one of my missions in life is to help change the world’s perception of differently-abled people and I will do everything in my power to make that happen anybody who has a problem with that is more than welcome to unfriend me, unfollow me or exit my life.

    The first personal challenge is not to be led by your emotions and sympathies to overlook moral and spiritual questions. For example, one may feel sympathetic to Bruce Jenner’s lifelong struggle and agony with his sexual and biological identity, but his pain does not necessarily justify his solution. Nor does it justify the celebration of his solution.

    The second personal challenge is not to be led by the sin of pride to reject others because they find fault with your opinion or actions – especially someone that loves and cares for you.

    Regarding the woman you are celebrating, the public aspect of her soft porn is problematic. I am sympathetic to the woman’s want to be famous, admired, and desirable but nothing godly can come of this campaign. Ultimately, her pictures provoke sin – masturbation and other sexual immorality. It’s a shame and a pity but I don’t fault your enthusiasm to support persons with disabilities.

    The useful thing about being yourself is that you can receive needed correction and encouragement from others who shine with the light, love and Truth of Jesus Christ.

    I love you Stan but i don’t think it was pornographic in nature or that she did it seeking fame she just wanted to change perceptions of differently-abled people.
