All human beings are equal. This statement has already become cliché. But
think about it. How do we consider disabled people? Don’t you have ever
treated them unfairly or even excluded them absolutely from consideration? It is
little wonder that people should not focus on the disability of someone, as
people should not focus on gender, age, race, and the religion of someone.
Highlighting the disability of somebody is the violence that non-disabled people
have committed towards disabled people.
We should break away from the passive attitude and outdated values that
emphasize consideration and equality for disabled people. Also, we should treat
them as talents with unlimited potential. The world must form a society that
disabled people are not underestimated simply because they have disabilities.
The numerous disabled people of the world can develop their abilities and
values if we make genuine change. Who is wrong, in other words, who needs
to alter is the non-disabled people, not the disabled people.

We may have been too obsessed with the word ‘disabled.’ The word ‘able’ is
hidden in the sord ‘disabled.’ If you escape from the prejudice of the word
‘disability’ and look at them, they are invaluable and competent individuals. It
is just a fact that we can see by erasing a few letters. Something truly
meaningful is the ‘ability’ they have.

Just as various people do not look the same, disabled people are one of the
members of the whole society. The non-disabled people have stressed only their
disabilities excluding their possibilities. They have new abilities that we have
not known. In fact, we have not tried to know those. Now, remove just three
letters, and remove the real barrier in front of them we made.
