Weekly Theme: Week of December 13-19, 2015

The Theme for this Week is Disability.  So what does it mean to be disabled?  Disabled compared to what?  As an example, let's take the ability to walk and/or run. A professional sprint runner has one level of ability.  A "normal" person "should" [strange word] be able to, at least walk, but usually run, for limited periods of time.  A person with trouble breathing might be able to slowly walk, but needing to frequently rest.  And then, if your legs "aren't working" [for any number of reasons], you might need a wheelchair, to propel yourself.  So even, with one single example, this can be a complex situation.  But see, compared to the professional sprint runner, I would absolutely feel disabled.
