Three Days To See!?
At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. I f I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted.” The above part is from “Three days to see” which was written by Helen Keller, a famous blind writer. In fact, Helen Keller is not a strange for us because her cases of strong spirit are well-know all over the world. And the passage indeed moved a lot of people as well. I read it again and still feel encouraged by it. Each day is beautiful as long as we’d like to go finding something in beauty. Just as somebody said ‘there exists beauty all around if we seek for seriously by our eyes. ‘However, our gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life. As we always said, eyes are the windows of hearts. We don’t make full use of eyes to catch beauty or something whether which conveys that our heart is not beautiful or not. There always somebody complains how hard or dull the life is. At the same time, others serve life as an enjoyable stuff from which they could gain happiness as well as feel the rich fullness each day. Moreover, every moment is different and much better than the one before. For in future day we don’t know what will happen and we expect in all kinds of possibilities as we like. And then we can test them when the new day comes, from which we may get amused or sad. However, no matter what happened, it will make us feel fresh and surprised. Is it enough yet? The point is to let us not forget how to make full use of our eyes. They are the best tool for helping us to be able to acquire what we need. Helen Keller said, ‘it is human perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not.’ In other words, we won’t have any regret and sorrow before we lost what we had. But it is too late that you really lost something you had by accident. Tons of cases like that happened or are happening around us every day. So please let us learn to cherish what we possess as well as make full use of our gift sight.
