I apologise for that (it's too late for me to change my post). I never intended to imply that the world should work that way, or that disabled people, or OP in particular, are less human than others. I come from a different culture than you, so it is hard for me to understand exactly what I did that was wrong. Can you advise how you would phrase my idea in a less insulting way?

I think it's mostly that you led with the dismissive cliché "life isn't fair", as if the OP wouldn't know that far better than you or I do.

I agree that such interpretations are heavily mediated by culture, and it's clear from your follow-up that your intention was positive.
