If you are crippled by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease, you could win a Courage Award. It seems there are two organizations that give out an annual Courage Award to somebody with Lou Gehrig’s .
But as far as I can tell,
no organization gives out a Courage
Award to people who have that which makes me crippled. And even if there was
such an award, I sincerely doubt they would give it to me. And if they did give it to me, I’d
wonder about them. Like Groucho Marx said, I wouldn’t join any club that would
have me for a member.
And I’d probably be all
stressed out if I won a Courage Award because I wouldn’t know what to do with
myself. Because I’d figure it would then be my responsibility to go around
being the symbol of cripple courage all the time and that’s sounds like a lot of
work. But then again maybe it wouldn’t be much work because it seems like
cripples don’t have to do much for some people to think we’re courageous except sit there and
be crippled. That automatically makes us courageous.
