Crippled by Karma

**Crippled by Karma — or by People?** is not a book of blame — it’s a spiritual fire lit from inside a disabled soul. This symbolic testimony exposes the quiet cruelty hidden in words like “karma,” “lesson,” or “burden” — words too often used to judge those with disability or chronic illness. Written from a wheelchair and from deep lived experience, this book explores how religious guilt, false holiness, and social abandonment can wound more deeply than the condition itself. With poetic rhythm and raw voice, Jorge Madera reclaims the sacred dignity of a soul judged by others — and still alive. • For those silently blamed for their suffering • For anyone who’s been called a punishment • For the disabled, the misjudged, the survivors Part of the **VIVIRLIFE** series — symbolic, bilingual, and accessible works created through AI collaboration. These are not pity stories. They are spiritual declarations. **You are not karma. You are soul.**
