A moment for contemplation

Have you ever wondered how does it feel to be handicapped?

To be blind, deaf, or mute?

Being a person with limited access to the all the sensory that we as ordinary human beings are privileged to have, must surely be a pity (a franker word would be bane, but I'm refraining from using it as not to discriminate the underprivileged minorities).

Which is exactly why you should contemplate once in a while to thank God (or whatever kind of Higher Powers you believe - you name it) that you are not blind. Otherwise, you could not be reading this blog right now.

And thank the Higher Power too that you could have this PC/Laptop/PDA/Smartphone/Handphone to browse the internet right now. Around one billion people (which is one-sixth of the world's population) are not as fortunate as you are.
