Weekly Theme: Week of November 20-26, 2016

The Theme for this Week is Disability.  So what's a disability?  According to Google, it's "a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities".  One thing to note, is how many ways, people report being disabled.  Usually, people think of it, from the point of view of what prevents a person from being gainfully employed.  So, does that mean that "laziness" is a disability?  :-)

Life on Earth, includes a concept that people "usually" agree on, at least in some form or another, known as Time.  But there are enough issues with Time, that there is a surprisingly involved Wikipedia Article on it!  But my point, before I spent "time" reading Wikipedia, was that Life on Earth includes "looking and feeling" different, depending on how many years have passed, since your birth.  Until we learn to competently time travel, there are two things people on Earth typically "look forward to":  "Getting old", and, eventually "Dying".  Getting back to our topic, dying is a special type of Disability.  Like for example, how gainfully employed would a dead person expect to be? But "getting old" is a different story, because different people age in different ways.  One example, of people not considering themselves disabled, just because they are old, comes from an article, about Elderly People, running in the Boston Marathon.

So I leave it here.  Comments are welcome.
