The society has advanced too far moving fast, but some discouraging thoughts have found it difficult to get uplifted from the modern society. The approach of the society towards disable people are still pathetic, and thus to break the taboo much awareness is still required. Empathy and not sympathy, should be the attitude of the society towards the disables, one should look for their inner quality and not simply do charity.
