Sunday, December 27, 2009 Just came back from kallang because I went to pass my friend the sales kit. Borrowed from him yesterday night when he came to my house to explain things to my mother. After he left, went to have dinner with my mum and asked about her opinions of the products. She was ok with it but dad was rather negative, well I don’t expect much from them anyway. Yeah, so lets continue what I want to say. When I was in the mrt, I saw a group of 4, communicating with each other using hand signals. I guess they are most probably mute. Standing beside them is another group of 4, all youngsters. There were talking so loudly. After looking at both group, something came into my mind. What if everyone in the mrt is mute, and we can only use hand signals to communicate, wouldn’t it be good? Those people who need to sleep can sleep quietly, those who need to rest after a whole day of work, they can eventually. The only noise that will exist in the mrt will only be the noise from the mrt itself. But of course, it everyone in the world is mute then it will be hard for us to communicate and work. But if everyone can adapt to this kind of life which the mutes’ are having, so why not? There are mute people who are very successful in life too. I was imagining, if we all live in a life of quietness from human noise, then what will happen? At the same time, I would like to relate back to what I saw yesterday. The same thing, I saw 2 mute people communicating with hand signals in the mrt. I was wondering if they will get tired after talking so long using their hands? As you know, sometimes when we use too much of our hands or legs, it gets tired and numb after a while. Imagine this kind of people uses their hands 24 hours to communicate. Isn’t it very hard on them? To those people who look down on people who have disabilities, this is something for you to know. They have things we really have to learn from. They are people we need to admire. They are people we must respect. Because they are going through things we are not going through. You may be normal human being now who is like most of the people in the world. But you will never know, if someday, you are no longer like what you are now, you are going to learn from those people with disabilities. So, my point is, treat them like how we treat others. We must not look down on them or dislike them or treat them differently because they are different from us. Wei Ping posted at 2:10 PM |
