Yes, "being healthy" is "an obstacle!"

Emiko Inagaki

 

 

For example, in spite of the fact that there's something you can do only after you get old and have a lot of things you can't do, you try to get rid of things you can't do like whack-a-mole for fear that you go into "the side of people whose life is denied." The former reporter sighed that if you only remove "a plug of heart" that you belong to healthy people, frustration changes into laughter, but it is very hard to do. From her contribution to "Frustration Into Laughter" written by Masayuki Kinoto, Chairperson of the Disability Welfare NPO.
