I recently watched an episode of The View with actor Michael J Fox as a guest. Mr. Fox has Parkinson’s disease and it’s severe. He was constantly shaking and his words were difficult to understand. While my heart goes out to him, why did his disability make me feel uncomfortable? I think, maybe It was difficult to watch him because of the pain or discomfort he must be going through. Then again he’s been dealing with this for thirty years, maybe he’s gotten used to it. Our bodies have an amazing way of adapting but then I don’t know for a fact about his current state.

A psychic once told me that I was a paraplegic in a recent pass life. He said that is why I feel uncomfortable but empathetic looking at people with disabilities because I still carry that pain and judgement from society that disregarded me. I don’t know if this is considered a phobia, which can be associated with early or pass-life trauma (if you believe in past lives) but it certainly seems to make sense.

I wish Mr Fox continued success in all his endeavors including the raising of incredible amounts of money towards research on Parkinson’s disease.
