Can innocence lost ever be regained? We often reminisce and shake our heads with wonder — what a naive, innocent young person we once were. Do we yearn for that time of innocence? Or, do we shake our heads at the stupidity we once exhibited and scurry away out of embarrassment?
With the present knowledge of cynicism and the current state of wisdom gained over these years, do we wish that we could recapture those day of youthful folly and have the chance to do it “all over again”?
If we could go back in time, would we take advantage of others with the knowledge we have today, applied in a context of prior innocence where others around us were also unaware and unsophisticated? Would we live our lives differently, knowing that today’s regrets were yesterday’s lack of understanding? Is it true what the grumpy old man on the porch said in the perennially-watched movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” — that “Youth is wasted on the young” (or was it George Bernard Shaw who first uttered those words?)?
What would we do differently with present wisdom applied to past circumstances?
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal Service workers who suffer from a medical condition such that the medical condition no longer allows for the Federal worker or Postal employee to perform all of the basic elements of his or her Federal job, the opportunity to regain that lost innocence may be forever foreclosed. You know — that time when work was a breeze and daily challenges were met with aplomb.
Federal Disability Retirement is a benefit that needs to be considered when that time past where innocence lost can no longer be regained and has now become a reality where the Federal Agency or the Postal Service cannot or is unwilling to accommodate the disabling health condition which remains unresolved.
Consult with a FERS Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, lest the innocence lost becomes a greater loss by adverse actions initiated by a Federal Agency or the Postal Service who takes advantage of the lost innocence that is now nowhere to be seen or found.
