Default Lack of Compassion

I have been subject to a lot of grief because of the way I walk. (Severe neuropathy in the soles of both feet). I overheard a senior citizen saying "Why would anybody want to walk like that?"), and I was stopped on my way into the casino once and asked how much I had had to drink. I answered that I do not drink. I was told that someone had reported that I was walking funny and was stumbling. I answered that I had been electrocuted. My pain causes me enough grief without thoughtless people making my life more difficult. I have thought about walking with a cane (It would not make walking any easier for me), I thought that by using a cane, at least I would not be harrassed by people noticing me having difficulty walking.
