Re: Should I give up?
Hi.
@crashmaster.
I'm not exactly sure where you're from , I think nz stans for New Zealand, but yes I have heard that in some countries blind people are expected to stay in a room and to be led around by their perrants but that's not what i'm saying at all.
I didn't say the blind were poor helpless retarded fuckers who have to stay in a room.
I'll admit my grandparents are a bit old fashened when it comes to jobs, but even here in the UK it is hard to find a job. A sighted person could, for example go in to a local clothes shop and get hired for folding clothes, from what i understand but for someone who is disabled it is a lot harder from what I've heard.
The only job I can really think of me getting is a computer bassed one and I really don't want that. I use the laptop way to much as it is and would not fancy sitting behind a desk all day.
Or I could try counciling but I'd not like that, I don't mind helping people a little but because I have anxiety that kind of job would not work for me.
I don't see why being on a benifit would make someone a retarted poor helpless cunt. I go out, I have fun, I travel around London.
I can use a laptop very well, I can read Braille, slowly yes but I can still read it. I'll admit that my spelling could be a lot better than what it is at the moment so in that way I guess I am set back a little.
You might want to look here at the supported living payment.
I think it's interesting that from what I understand, if you are blind and earning money through a job, or another way, they won't take your disability money away.
It's the same here in the UK.

Here's the a to z of benifits for NZ https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/produ … index.html
I didd a quick google search and the disability benifits are around $62.37 per week, that's 249.48 US$ per month.
I'm not sure what that is in New zealand dollars.
Okay it's not a huge amount but from what I understand you can get extra benifits if needed. Plus, you won't get your benifits taken away so the way I'd look at it, I'd have money eatch month either way. If I got a job in NZ I could earn more than the benifits but if not I at least have something to fall back on if I need to.
As for being happy being blind, it could always be worse. I've got it easy compared to others.
I was born blind so I don't know any diffirent but even if there was a cure tomorrow, I highly doubt I'd take it.
