Happy With My Flaws
In Nancy Mair’s essay, “On Being a Cripple”, she talks about her life with Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. It’s not that she is complaining she is describing how her disability set limits to what she can do. It seems as Mair’s is poking fun at the fact that many Americans complain about the little things. She knows that she has the disability and she is accepting it. Mair’s figure at the young age of 28, that she had the disease and it change her world forever. She doesn’t really see it as a disability. She feels as though she has a gift.
The essay made me realize that I should be thankful!! I have a sclerosis but not in the way that she does. It made me see that she is a remarkable woman and she didn’t give up on life. She kept on going even with her disability. She did not let it get her down. The best thing is that she had family support to help her get through the process of the change.
It true that many of complain about the little things. We as a whole have become so wrapped up in everything that we want and sometimes don’t take what we have for granted. People just like Mair’s don’t complain but they are thankful for being her.
It just seems that we are stuck in mind frame of “having our cake and eating it too.”
How do you feel about the fact that people take so many things for granted?
