During my morning train ride to work today, there was a blind man who got on and as he got on and off, he will say thank you out loud to people around him who has assisted him. He also says out loud that his seat is available when he got up to get ready to alight the train.
I'm really happy and thank God that people are helpful assisting him to board the train, offer their seat, guide him to the seat and off the train.
However, there is another thought that came through my mind. A question that someone once asked.
"Of our 5 senses, what won't you choose not to lose?"
I choose sight and if I can choose another one, feel. I would give up taste, hear, speak and maybe feel, so that I can see the world, its beauty and its hardship. To not miss the beauty; to see the sufferings so we know how to appreciate each amazing sight. To be able to see our parents, our beloved friends, the love of our life and our kids through life.
I would choose to keep "touch", too, so I can feel our love ones and may they in turn feel our touch on them.
