Thank you for that post, Steven.

Yes, my husband reacted much as you described when you wrote "What drives me truly mad, though, is when people respond to afflictions - usually those of others - by announcing that it is God's will, or that God is testing us, or that the experience will make us stronger."

I have thought a lot, obviously, about the meaning of the great human effort, now mostly performed by others, required to maintain my daughter and other profoundly retarded individuals in their lives. I can't answer it philosophically, but I can say this simple thing: I prefer to live in a society in which the strong take care of the weak. I wish the practice was more widespread, and crossed national boundaries.
