This picture has a lot of meaning to me.

It’s an image I saw many years ago that made me feel sorry for the poor lass, but at the same time I recognised the humour intended by whoever made it. I thought about what the first image was showing me, a young disabled girl just out at the pool enjoying life without much care in the world, and I felt a sadness thinking how this will probably be one of the happiest times in this girls life. All she knows in life is her parents love, but it’s about to change as she is judged by everyone around her and her parents can’t protect her any more.

With that in mind I looked down at the photoshopped image of the poor girl, mocking her appearance. And I realised it had already begun. Even in this photo of a happy moment, which a loving family member took to remember the better times, some heartless cunt on the internet thought it would be hilarious to make fun of her unfortunate affliction.

And I remember I…I…I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized, like I was shot — like I was shot with a diamond…a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God, the genius of that. The genius! The will to do that: perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, trained cadres — these men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who have children, who are filled with love — but they had the strength — the strength! — to do that.

I looked back and forth between the picture of the disabled girl, and the googly eyed pirate with a parrot on his shoulder, and I laughed. I laughed harder than I ever had before. And a moralfag died that day.
