i went for a production entitled 'Natural' this evening. and it was one of the best performance i've watched in my entire life. it was, a performance that had it message put across simply and clearly, and best of all, it was put out by a really really special and awesome group of people. i give the performance two thumbs up!
well, 'Natural' is put up by the Down Syndrome Association (Singapore) and it was held at Victora Theatre. the grand finale production moved me deeply, and i'm really proud of the performers. indeed, the words spoken by them really make me think and stop to ponder. a few of the questions were 'can they get married? what if you seen two of them holding hands, kissing even? can they be attracted to the opposite sex? can they have sex? do they have feelings?' its true, sometimes we may doubt their abilities just because they've Down Symdrome. but so what? disability doesn't mean inability. sometimes it really pains me when others are insensitive and look down on them. considering that my younger sister has Down Symdrome too, i can really feel for them. another part that made a deep impression of me was when one of the cast said this “ I really hope I can get married. And have some one I can call my own. But why can’t I? I was born with Down syndrome. I don’t see why I’m denied the right to get married. I’ve a friend who got married, and she’s the centre of everyone’s attraction.
each of us are different; we have different likes and dislikes. and this is because each and every one of us is special. God made us special, and that makes all of us different, special, and unique. Some people are special, cos they're really smart. Some people are special, cos they are very popular. Some people are special, cos they're good in a sport. Some people are special, cos they have physical problems. And some people are special, cos they have Down Syndrome. They learn slowy and need special education.
The human body is made up of tiny cells thad consist in forty-six chromosomes in each cell. twenty three comes from the father and twenty three from the mother. and, Down Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome that the person has.
nonetheless, God loves everyone, including his child with Down Syndrome. All of us are important and significant to God. Jesus helped tons of people with disabilities, and none of them are little in His sight. (:
God Bless!
