Changing the Worldview of Disability--step one

Solidarity, agreement, consensus...conceptual meaning must be agreed upon in a group, the larger the better, and one can also draw strength from the group to encourage the increase of size in the group that chooses to examine its relationship to the disabled. A group can consist of a percieved godhead, a spouse or potential spouse, friends, family, cultural artifacts from disabled artists (e.g. poetry books, paintings, music recordings...) advocacy groups...all this needs to occur for lasting change. Both agreement and strength can and should occur from the same group, or at least begin there. People are more likely to convert there way of thinking for a friend than for a stranger. The first step is love. I will post other steps later.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark 12: 29-31 King James Version)

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." (Luke 10: 25-28 King James Version)

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4: 7,8 King James Version)
