deception

i wonder about our sense of disappointment, and how it affects our ability to live our lives with happiness. does someone who is born with a disability live a life of disappointment, or does one only feel disappointed when one can no longer achieve the things they once could, or once believed they could? the french word for disappointment is deception - a so-called linguistic false friend - or is it? perhaps we feel disappointed when we have deceived ourselves into believing we can do what we in fact cannot.
