S word

  People go through life thinking that a disability is something that the person suffers from. In reality, it is more of a learning experience.
  Many people have the misconception stuck in their head that people suffer from different things such as Epilepsy, Diabetes as well as countless other medical conditions. Suffering is when a person is in emotional or physical pain and cannot do anything. People with some chronic conditions may not always be in physical or emotional pain. In contrast, many conditions require constant watch even though the person is not in constant pain. In retrospect, there are conditions such as Depression where the person may be in constant emotional pain. However, things may not always be what they seem until they are looked into further.
   Life experiences happen in life that everyone can learn from. People are different and life is meant to be that way. Otherwise, life would be boring because everyone would be the same. To further add, experience comes from things that happen to us that can impact a person to change their way of thinking. Life happens and everything can be turned into a learning experience. Life is about living and learning. People will no  learn if they do not experience different things that go on in life. People have emotional as well as physical pain in life. That is one thing that people can learn from. Teaching others can be an experience in itself. Teaching others the difference can be a great experience. It can also be a life experience because both sides benefit from each other. The person sharing often feels satisfaction in telling others about their life. Learning, teaching and being optimistic can be a very powerful combination.
   Suffering is a word used by people that do not realize the full meaning of the word. They do not realize that there is more to it than just putting it towards something that renders it useless. Many also do not realize that not all suffer. Many find peace in a condition that they have because it is what makes them unique. It is their own unique stamp that they can use to their advantage. In turn, they are able to teach people something new that they may not otherwise learn unless someone tells them about it. Often times, many do not stop long enough to learn something new. The hectic lifestyle of today leaves little time to learn anything new. However, by learning something new people gain a new sense of thinking in bits in pieces. In time, people connect the dots and a bigger picture is gathered.
   A word is a word that can be used in many ways and in different forms. It is a matter of the real meaning shining through. When it is out in the light people see its true color. There are many challenges in life that can be overcome. It is challenges that can be used as life experience.
