Falling Off My Pedestal

"If you are whole, you will argue: Why wouldn't they rejoice? Don't the poor miserable buggers all want to be like me? Not necessarily, no. The arrogance of the able-bodied is staggering. Yes, maybe we'd like to be able to get places quickly, and carry things in both hands, but only because we have to keep up with the rest of you... We would rather be just like us and have that be alright." - The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
