(I had to read it from the GoogleCache. I haven't read the comments on the Linkedin site as it forces me to login and I'm not on Facebook)
"How Great Human Beings Find Their Purpose"
I hate this title and this aspect of the article. It is the same
pity-heroism dichotomy so common when able bodied people speak about people with disabilities. Some of us have been ill since we were young and we've never had the opportunity to learn skills or education to have broad impact. Some of us simply don't have the support networks to use what little energy we have for "purpose". Some of us don't even have that. Saying that opportunities come from adversity is bullshit. Most of us have lost far more than we will ever gain.
The rest of the article is worthy, saying nothing will change until, well, those who aren't affected by the disease start to pay attention, take the disease seriously and invest money into finding solutions.
