"Three days of light" seems ordinary to ordinary people, but for the blind Helen, it is unattainable.
As her book says, on the first day, she would go to meet people, to meet people who were kind, kind, and friendly, and the next day she would get up before dawn to see the spectacle of the moving night turning into day, gazing in awe at the magnificent view of the dawn, then going to the art gallery and spending the evening in the theater or theater.
On the last day, she was going to see Dawn and greet Dawn, but she couldn't waste her time on regret and hope, because she was leaving Frost and going to that quiet little village on Long Island to enjoy the scenery on the green meadows.
She wanted three days of sunshine so she could see all the sights in the world.
For each of us ordinary people, watching the sun rise in the east every day, watching the colorful world, the spring with a hundred flowers blooming, the bustling crowd, colorful, colorful, and charming.
Listening to their conversations, listening to pleasant music, listening to the noisy city, maybe this world is not as beautiful and cute as we imagined, because it is so ordinary.
But what kind of mood and feeling is it to let a deaf and blind person live in a dark night all day long, in a silent world?
For the American writer Helen Keller, all these things that we take for granted are precious to her.
As a child, she had a serious illness and became blind in her eyes and ears. When she was 7 years old, a woman named Anne Sullivan came to serve as her governess, and she has been with her for more than 50 years.
With Sullivan's help, Helen Keller received a good education and wrote her first book, The Story of My Life, about her efforts to study at Ladies School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Radcliffe College, Cambridge. This book is not only for many people with disabilities, but also for thousands of ordinary people.
Helen Keller's famous essay "If You Give Me Three Days of Light".
In this article, she uses her keen sense and rich imagination to paint a picture of life in the world that we ordinary people have become accustomed to, and the wealth of knowledge she has gained in the dark.
Although it was only an "what if", the strong desire in her heart to see this colorful world had already been revealed.
"Three days" is so short, so short, how can we fully understand the world we live in?
Although Helen Keller is disabled, her mental world has not been harmed in any way. She, like us ordinary people, has a wealth of emotions, and in a sense, she receives much more love and help than we do.
Therefore, in this article, she does not reveal sadness or pessimism about her unfortunate fate, but is full of imaginary joy and satisfaction, she just wants to take this opportunity to realize her understanding of the world and express her deep gratitude to the world.
Of course, a miracle is impossible, if there are three days, it is impossible to achieve, she just wants to use this assumption to realize a beautiful dream of herself.
That is why, for a healthy person, we can live normally and enjoy all the good things that this world has to offer us.
What do we think when we read this? Shouldn't we cherish the happiness and beauty that we never realized?
For Helen Keller, who has lived in darkness and silence for many years, her perception of sound and color comes entirely from her imagination, she is not interested in the great changes that have taken place in the last few decades, so her descriptions of this beautiful world are realized through words.
Three days may be a short time for ordinary people, but for Helen Keller, it is precious. She must have cherished this "three days of light".
In the past three days, for her, it is the best way to express the strong desire that has been stored in her heart for a long time, and it is also the best to show her true mood.
In these three short days, she arranged her life in an orderly manner. On the first day, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Mrs. Anne Sullivan Massey, who was to "gather together my dearest friends, and examine their countenances carefully, and imprint their inner beauty deeply on my heart."
"On the second day, I went to the Natural History Museum and Art Gallery to see the plays, and on the third day, I went to New York City to see the daily life of the people, to see the ordinary world full of life and vitality, and in the evening to see a burlesque show.
Helen Keller longed to see everything that had been in human society from ancient times to the present day: the teachers who accompanied her, her puppy friends - Little Scotdy, Ducky, the strong and intelligent Great Dane, Helga, the great nature, museums, libraries, the works of art that mankind had created over the course of history - fine arts, sculptures, theaters, ...... Wait a minute.
In fact, behind all her longings was her infinite love for the world, which she must have fantasized about countless times, imagining the beauty that could not be seen in the dark.
Mencius: Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their hearts, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they can endure their sufferings and benefit what they cannot.
Different attitudes towards suffering often lead to different fates. Life is like a Pandora's box being opened, and there will be countless difficulties along the way, but under the difficult screening, what remains is the most valuable - hope.
Never give up hope until the last moment. There is no secret to success, and even if there are, there are only two kinds:
First, persevere, never give up;
The second is that when you want to give up, go back and do the first one: persevere, never give up!
When you face failure, you must remember one thing, that is, there is no failure in this world, only temporary failure.
Without the determination and courage to overcome difficulties, we will not be able to succeed. How high a person's goals are, how big the setbacks are.
Only with a correct ideal of life can people see the light in the darkness, the greatness in the ordinary, the confidence and courage in the difficulties and setbacks, the light of victory in the momentary setbacks, and the progress in the face of difficulties.
You can be destroyed, but not conquered. As Ernest Hemingway said, "Life is not born destined to fail. Santiago, the protagonist of his masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea", is a typical character who never gives up and never gives up.
Maybe he seems to have failed - the fish was eaten by the shark, but in the eyes of the author and the reader, he became a winner, an awesome winner.
There will be many setbacks in life, don't be afraid, don't be confused, it is precisely because of setbacks that we will cherish the mood after success more. Cherish life and don't leave the journey of life empty.
It is said that the eyes are the window of the soul, but how many people can really use their eyes to feel the brightness outside the window?
Although some people are healthy, they only have the reflection of yesterday and tomorrow in their "eyes", because they miss yesterday and look forward to tomorrow, they ignore today's existence, and until today becomes yesterday, they will feel how precious this day is.
As Helen said, "It's always like this, and it's only when you lose that you think of it, and only when you're sick do you think of healthy happiness." ”
Because if you don't look carefully and can't see clearly, many times, people will forget their good times. Every day they are waiting for tomorrow, a day in which their lives are so fragile, so fragile, so vulnerable.
