__________Walking with Love Part Fifty-nine
Sunlight is still this gentle and warm; the clouds in the sky are light and thin, slowly drifting; the flowers on the ground are still this red, the mountains are still this green, the waters are still this green; the world is still this lovely, people are still under the sunlight, doing things with smiling faces, enjoying life………………………………………..
Helen said: "If I were given three days of light!" Three days of light, for us who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and mouths to speak, this is too simple! It is also too happy!
We live day after day, month after month, year after year in the sunlight, but sometimes we always feel that we are not happy people, always dissatisfied, always blaming fate for being unfair…………………………
And Helen, living in darkness, regards seeing sunlight, seeing the flowers, grasses, trees, mountains and waters under sunlight, hearing the birds' songs under sunlight, the clamor of people in the bustling market………………………
In short, as long as she can see and hear, she considers it the greatest happiness; even if it's others' cold faces, as long as she can see it, she regards it as the most beautiful! But...........................
And all this, for us with fully functional senses, everything we can see and hear is regarded as our due, we do not cherish it, nor do we know how to cherish it!............................
We spend most of our time in a state of numbness, ignoring the existence of the world around us. We are not that we haven't seen; we have seen, but we do not understand that everything around us exists for us; for many sounds in the world, we hear them, but we do not know how to appreciate the beauty of these sounds…………………………
We just live in a muddled way, unclear, not knowing why we live. Our hearts seem to be covered with oil, our ears are heavy, our eyes are closed……………………………………..
Our hearts are covered by the mundane, often overlooking or ignoring the most beautiful 'scenic spot'______person, thus also forgetting our own duties and responsibilities: to praise life, to appreciate life, to create life!
To live, having the existence of life, is happiness! To live, and to have eyes that can see, that is eye blessing; to have ears that can hear, that is ear blessing; to have a mouth that can speak, that is mouth blessing!
A person who possesses life is a happy person. A person who knows how to cherish and love life is a perfect person.
Little Helen Keller said: "A visual person, their eyes soon become accustomed to the regularities of surrounding things. They actually only notice surprising and magnificent things. However, even when they observe the most magnificent spectacles, their eyes are lazy."
Yes, we are too familiar with the things around us: flowers, grasses, trees, mountains, oceans, sun, moon, stars; these things we take for granted, our eyes always lazily look at them. Even if we look seriously, we cannot see the beauty within, nor do we know how to be grateful for life, grateful for the world. But when one day we suddenly lose these things, then we feel how precious those seemingly ordinary things around us are!
…………………………………………………………………………
That blind girl Helen whispered to herself: Sometimes I think that if we live as if we will die tomorrow, that is the best rule. Such an attitude can sharply emphasize the value of life. We should should cherish kindness, friendliness, vigor, and desire to live……………………………………
Yes, no matter how you say it, we have already possessed life; possessing life, we possess everything; possessing life, we should be kind, friendly, full of vigor to live, and also have infinite hope for the future of life…………………….
(Heart longs for the disaster area, affection longs for the disaster area: May peace, courage, confidence, strength be with the disaster area people, accompany them!)
