Reply To: English Quote on Perception by Helen Keller

#118253

I cannot completely agree on this viewpoint. First of all, this quote is by Helen Keller, an extraordinary person who lost her sight and hearing abilities. Nevertheless, even she wished she could have “Three Days to See“, as the title of one of her seminal articles. I can never ignore the beauty of sunrise on top of a mountain or disregard dulcet chirpings of birds or even crickets at night. I believe our mind should be trained to be tuned in to and acknowledge these natural beauties, and Helen Keller’s mind was so talented from this point of view.
