I read in the paper today about a women living elsewhere in British Columbia (the town was called Trail) who just had her second leg amputated (the first was amputated some time ago). She arrived back at her apartment from the hospital, to find a letter from the building's owner waiting for her. The owner was requesting her to move out because the building wasn't set up to handle wheelchairs.
I'd suggest that the building's owner wasn't set up to handle being a human being.
I think that the least the owner could have done was had a heart to heart with the woman (perhaps bringing a small get-well gift in the process) to sincerely find out her intentions first. Maybe she was perfectly content to stay, maybe she had already made plans to move.
To think that your assumptions are fact is the worst sort of arrogance. If you never question yourself, if you don't make any distinction between what you know and what you think you know, how can you call yourself a responsible person?
