This research highlights three disabled (blind) people in the term of their ways in dealing with their shortcoming in earning their livelihood and the way they interact with their surrounding, socio-economically and socio-religiously. It is found that they have the ability to meet they daily needs by "massaging people". Eventhough they have shortcomings, in fact, they have the ability to adapt to their surroundings externally and with their fellow masseurs internally. They interact economically, socially as well as, religiously in line with the social interaction patterns such as cooperation, conflict, competition or accommodation.
