Response To Hellen Keller's Three Days To See

I agree with what she says about how people never appreciate what they have until they lose. Th at I feel goes for many things relationships being number one in my life. It seems that she wants people to read this and stop taking what they see on a regular for granted. I find it funny that she gets more of a description after just touching some than we do with seeing and touching something. Page 95 "It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift or sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life." I find that this comment stands out to me because she is right on the mark with that comment. We just look at things and never think twice about it, unless its some one or something that looks really good, but other than that regular things like seeing a sun rise or something as simple as being able to look at a blade of grass we take for granted because we see these things all the time. Please send me a comment if I'm wrong. Sorry I don't mean to come off arrogant. The thing about dogs in the excerpt struck me because I have a little white schnauzer at home that I love to death I couldn't imagine not being able to see her.
