Last week, during the participation in training, the theme of the meeting was exactly this: Learn to see the world through the eyes of another person. I confess that this is a very, very difficult exercise: put on another one skin…I can say this because I have sought to exercise it whenever I am faced with conflicting situations that requires action; choosing a side.
It is not easy, because we have to take off any remnants of selfishness, putting ourselves in another's place is also a commitment. It is easier to judge, to give our opinion, without, however, even try to understand the reason of the other person. Only thus will you be able to understand and help, whether for love, friendship, respect, solidarity, regardless of the feeling we cherish to each other.
I think that whenever we try to understand the attitudes of others, why certain behaviors, we are faced with another universe. Everybody brings experiences in which make people special and unique. Ours not judge, but understanding will help whenever is possible. Often acting this way, we understand that deep inside we were the ones who needed to change and not otherwise.
Sometimes our hearing without giving any piece of advice helps much more than trying to solve someone else’s problems. Sometimes looking with another’s eyes simply makes us understand that the universe that is represented by someone else is much more complex than we thought.
We live in a world where we should care for each other, where each one of us should be a link to steadily strengthen these experiences, forming a large current. However, we’ve been living quite the opposite (or at least the vast majority) as if each one were self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone for anything.
It looks like a photographic image. It means, to me, I’m looking at it through the eyes of the one who captured it. Interfering in this same image is a way of revealing that I see it too, but with my own eyes, by my own way…
All those in special physical needs, as any human being have the right to education, health, leisure and work as any other citizen.
ReplyDeleteMore than a government obligation to care for these people is also needed public awareness. Several buildings could provide accessibility to wheelchair users, just by good will. Poorly maintained sidewalks or obstacles such as: boards and tables on them, cars parked, all this is an offense for those in special needs. Before we criticize our leaders we should look to do something for others.
There is no point inventing in improvements for wheelchairs, if people do not do their part to help and show solidarity. Any technological growth is useful when there is a personal ethic behind it.
Very well said,I agree with you Scott, while figuring out those improvements for the toy, we also discussed this same topic. Actually, this is the goal of the methodology: To lead students to think about the problems faced by others persons.
