iv) Divorced Women
A lady, after being divorced by her husband, is forced to face many social problems. She gets out of her husband's home. Sometimes her parent give her shelter in their house but sometime they also hesitate to keep her in their own family. Thus she becomes homeless which undoubtedly creates a harmful position for her. A lady without home and husband becomes very weak and comes into the clutch of unsocial elements which causes her to be spoiled. Therefore the non-violence way of living includes divorced women in class of homeless persons whom home should be provided. v) Mentally Disordered Persons Human life is full of sufferings Lord Buddha has propounded -
"Sarvam Dukham' All things are painful. Every where there is suffering. The courageous persons face different problems coming to them and try to be free from them. But those who are mentally weak, do not tolerate troubles in their life and they are disturbed and disordered. After being mentally disordered they leave their own residences and roam here and there. They reach at those places which are quite unfamiliar to them. They being ill-treated by unknown persons come in much trouble. They become problems for their families and society. They become homeless and hopeless also. Though government has established MentalHospitals, public should also try to keep the mentally disordered persons in some hospital or home for homeless. Help to Handicaps
The people who lack physical or mental fitness are known as handicaps. The blind, deaf, dumb, dull, mentally retarded, lame etc. are put in the class of handicaps. They need help from those who are normally fit. The handicaps have the same likings and dislikings which belong to human nature. They want to see, to sing, to play, to run etc. and to enjoy the life pleasantly but they find themselves unable to satisfy their own desires. They feel the abnormalities of their personalities. Some persons are found handicaps by their births while some others become handicaps doe to diseases and accidents. Whatever nay be the causes of inabilities
