Clarity and Purpose

Apparently the clarity of my blog posts leaves to be desired, as does the length. I suppose this is, at least in part, due to the fact that I've had to delete a few blog posts. I will do my best to improve on my clarity, but because of the situation I'm still in, I can't make any promises.

When I started Accessibility In Mind, I thought I had found my purpose in life: To start a movement that addresses the root cause of accessibility for people with disabilities leaving to be desired.

Then along came 2013, which brought not only my chance to present Accessibility In Mind in an event as large as the International Disability Rights Affirmation Conference (IDRAC), but also brought the lovely Cori into Virtual Ability, Inc.'s Second Life group. When I thought I had begun to understand her situation, I also thought that fate had handed me a new purpose: To help prevent people with disabilities from being made a victim of their disabilities.

Little did I know at the time, that my understanding of her situation was seriously flawed. The biggest problem was that my love for Cori had made me too blind to see it; had made me take everything she told me at face value.

Based on the theory that trouble in a relationship always arises from within the relationship, and using what I remember of the misunderstandings Cori and I have had through the years, I believe I've pieced together how this mess got started. I've found that, whenever Cori does not understand something, she tends to shy away from asking what someone means and attempts to guess the meaning. Please understand, I will not claim to be into psychiatry or psychology, but isn't there at least a possibility that this is what caused the mess we're in?

As always, I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post. If you have any questions or comments, then please let me know in the form down below.
