我的双眼是在4岁时失明的。
在大西洋城的一个货场,当时我从棚车上摔了下来,头部受到了重创。
如今32岁的我依然能模糊地想起阳光的灿烂和红色的鲜亮。
重见光明固然美好,但不幸也会给人带来奇妙的感觉。
那天,我突然意识到,如果我没有失明,也许就不会像现在这样热爱生活。
现在,我相信生活。
如果我不是盲人,我不敢肯定自己是否还会这样深信不疑。
我并不是说宁愿失去双眼,而只是想说,失去它们让我更加珍惜自己的其他能力。
我相信,生活要求人们不断自我调整以适应现实。
一个人若能更及时地自我调整,那他的生活也就更加有意义。
然而,自我调整并不容易。
曾经我时常感到疑惑、恐惧,但我很幸运。
父母与老师在我的身上看到了我无法看到的东西——即生活的潜能,于是他们鼓励我与失明抗争到底。
