The same happened with Neelam when she was just on the edge of her youth. An ambitious dream of being a famous actor, a blissful teenager, thousand youthful aspirations and most of all the best diversion of her life; dancing were all shattered in a road mishap made by a careful driver when she was rightfully walking on her own lane holding the hands of her best buddy. In the tragedy she not only had to lose her friend forever but she even had to mislay all her dreams and lead her remaining life as an amputee with only one leg. When she remembers the very day she says, "I learnt that my leg was amputated only a day after. Though my family members were around me giving me hope, but in private I used to admit the misery and shed tears for the misfortune of not being able to dance any more.

We often assume that people with disabilities are unhappy. But in fact we're wrong. Surveys reveal people with disabilities consistently report a quality life as good as, or sometimes even better than that of non-disabled people. Human flourishing is possible even if you lack a major sense like sight, ability to walk, or being physically dependent on others. Sometimes, disabled are driven to greater achievements than before. So that if we presuppose that physical difficulties for people result in pain for them, then we are wrong. What is more important here is the social blockade rather than the physical impairment itself. It's true that in general, disabled people usually have fewer choices than non-disabled people.
