What is a real problem?

Published 30th March 2010 - 3 comments - 2397 views -

I am deaf. That's not a big problem. I can live with that. In this world is a lot of other problems which need to be addressed. Because I am deaf, I appreciate my sight. Thanks to my eyes I see people, nature and animals around me. But also I see violence, misery, hunger, etc. But that may change.

God or something else stole my hearing, but on the other hand, gave me superhuman power. No flying, no X-ray vision or invisibility. He gave me the power to write.

 

My weapon isn't a sword or gun. I have something more powerful - a pen. I write, I draw, and thanks to new technology I can take pictures with my camera.

This is the diary of an ordinary man with an extraordinary volition. Put away all the comics on Superman, Spiderman, Batman and read this. Why look for bad guys which doing some problems in the comics? When many of us are doing problems in the our real world. One thing we have in common with comics. Heroes wins. We will win.

    No, God (or whoever it is) didn’t take anything from you - he (or she or it or whatever) made all of us see. Some hear but don’t listen, some look without seeing. The important thing is how we use the abilities we have.

    I look forward to reading your posts!
