Meditation calls into question much of what passes for normalcy. Much better to reach an individual, unique assessment of one's strengths and weaknesses than to chase after conventional, and often unexamined, notions of happiness. The rage is extra, unnecessary, often blocking the very communication which could change the situation. Compassion is the highest good in Buddhism, turning the focus away from one's individual situation towards that of society at large. I in no way mean to minimize the social and physical problems facing the disabled, but the success stories among our group always seem to be based on a high degree of self-knowledge and an empowered attitude.
Meditation is a powerful tool for doing that work.
