Hear me...

I just finished watching this Taiwanese movie called Hear Me and what movie. *astonished face* Such a great movie, there is hardly any talking in it because it's about two sisters having to communicate in sign language and a boy that comes in to their life. <- That's me shortening things up so I don't spoil it, I tend to do that. haha
It first made me realize how big the world really is and that there are more then one type of persons. People have disabilities and are different from us, but then I realized, what is it that makes us different? Hearing-impaired people still have to pay bills, take care of themselves, and most importantly they have dreams, just like everyone else. So why do we choose to treat some people differently? Just cause its not the norm doesn't mean that its not right. Maybe hearing-impaired, or any persons with a disability, may see their life as the norm and yours as different. I think it's time people started seeing one another through intellect rather then ability.
I Believe that the only way that we can grow as human-beings is by learning from one another, sharing our existing knowledge and growing together from it.
The truth is, we're all just a little to greedy. We want to stay on top and are scared that once we share with one another, they'll be nothing else to grow from. That's when I come back to the comment that the world is a big place, do you really think you know everyone?


ps. Go watch the movie! It's on youtube, "Hear Me [Movie] 听说 - English Sub [1/11]"
and don't forget, we ALL have dreams, but how many of us follow them? How many of us change them, because they seem to big to be real and a part lives? Never give up on your dream!
