The Truth

Hearing impairment incurs a heavy load which we must carry on our shoulders. After all we experience in life, why should we be asked to sustain more? The truth of the matter is handicapped individuals desire the same things that the average person may take for granted.

I have seen through different eyes since I became hearing impaired. The life we make for ourselves will stay long after we leave this planet. God has created all of us in his image, yet the truth is we are not all created equal.

In the years which have passed, I find myself comparing the simplicity I use to enjoy before my hearing changed. Like alot of disabled human beings, I have experienced times where I am the object of ridicule. I can't understand what kind of pleasure one could gain at the expense of someone elses affliction. It's beyond my comprehension.

I am not portraying the part of anyone claiming to be superior or above all the rest. I believe this type of thinking stems from an insecure person trying to over compensate in some small way for their insecurities. Look inside yourself to see the truth. Compassion lies inside your own heart.

As I stated previously, the suffering one deals with when their hearing impairment is traumatizing enough without adding further complications. Although you realize (through time) your handicap is due to no fault of your own, still the adjustments weigh heavy on every fiber of who you are. All of us at one or more times in our lives will scrutinize our abilities against the capablities of others.

Human nature tends to overpower our minds to the point we become self-destructive. Dare to believe a failure can be turned around to locate success. Don't always search for someone or something to blame your problems on. Negative forces generate only more negative thinking.

Dare to stick out your neck and bring about changes you'll be proud to call your own. Life is too short not to take the time to care about others. Even the so-called strongest of us know sometimes still waters run deep.

Hearing impairment is no excuse to lose faith in all. You're still the same person you always were. Why not lighten someone else's spirit with just a smile? Don't fall prey to the belief one person can't make a difference.

On the contrary being your own person might catch on. There isn't any reason I can see for which you shouldn't at least try. Go on and become connected. You'll feel terrific.
