infirmity or infirm, sufferer beware.

I’m begining to realise that everyone has some form of infirmity. It might be a weak back or piles or a psychological infirmity like anxiety or panic or phobia. I think that some form of psychological infirmity is almost normal for humans.

Thankfully people are becoming much more open about their infirmities and realising that everyone has something can be helpful.

However ’sufferer beware’. I have noticed a tendency for people to take the tragic step from having an infirmity to labelling themselves as infirm. One minute you are compulsive and obcessive, the next minute you are OCD (obcessive compulsive disorder).

It’s really important to be honest about your infirmities and take responsibility to arrange your lifestyle around the real you ‘warts and all’.  Look after yourself. But be very careful to not to take on the identity of infirm. You manage your infirmity it doesn’t manage you.

This became clear to me when I realised that all the famous bible characters had massive physical or psychological infirmity which is out in the open and FoundbyGod. It’s here that the real living begins.
