Hi! The problem with most of us is that we are living in a shock of being visually impaired. We do not first want to be a human being, and then seeing life with full of challanges which needs to be overcome with our fullest capacity. It is actually not a problem of these Visually challanged folks but a psychological deficiency of humans to cope with life. But when these acts are performed by Visually challanged then it gets highlighted which in turn damages the image of other Visually impaired people as well and close the door of opportunities towards us. Recently a Visually challanged folk was offered an opportunity with one of a renouned Indian multi national, the person rejected the offer just because he did not wanted to relocate and had other issues which could had been easily mannageable. And the most embarrasing part was that this act was performed after a long period of negotiation and offer and acceptance between both the party's.
