Disability’ arouses pity and pity peddling. ‘Disability’ arouses hero inspiration for doing normal stuff. ‘Disability’ arouses invasive inquisitiveness. ‘Disability’ suggests tragedy. ‘Disability’ stands for dispossession and misery.  ‘Disability’ confirms one-dimensional. ‘Disability’ purports need fixing. ‘Disability’ is a plot device. ‘Disability’ is […]
