Feeling like you have too much faith in humanity?

I think with exposure to special needs children, you start realizing how much better they are than you. Their innocence, honesty and ability to be themselves is a trait they'll always have over us.

and when i see shit like this, trying to attack that innocence....my blood boils.

i admire you guys who care for and love special needs children. i am not that strong, mainly because i cant get to the reconciliation stage where its like, "hey, this is how it is. lets work with it and give them the best life possible". i cant get past having my heart completely broken every time i meet a special needs person, child or not. lump in my throat even while i read and write this. like, i can work through it, and will at every chance i get do anything i can to help, and when they smile its everything, and im happy for them, but i still die inside a little bit.

which is why i couldnt do anything witty, cunning, or patient with this woman as retribution i would actually punch her in the mouth.

Trust me, man, it doesn't happen over night. Or necessarily completely. I basically have mourn a loss every year. My son turns 16 next month but will never be able to drive. Little stuff like that really adds up.

It'd be great if she paid lots of other people to behave the same way. An army of whaling, helmet wearing, energy junkies just jumping around and making noise.
