How to use "Leper" in context?
There is no single answer to the question of what it is like to live with leprosy. The disease can vary from person to person, and from day to day. For one person, the experience might be unbearable and debilitating; for another, it might be little more than a nuisance.
lepers have a disadvantage in every society they live in. Their appearance causes them to be despised and rejected. They have little opportunity for a decent life, and are frequently forced to live on the margins of society.
Despite all this, lepers have been shown to be brave and resilient.
