The Insight At A Birthday Party

Just the other day, I was invited to a not too elaborate birthday party

There, I witnessed a remarkable number of physically challenged kids and those from orphanages displaying their creativity

The celebrant decided to dedicate his birthday ceremony to them

In other words, they were invited, along with all other guests, as the celebrant’s special gem

The deaf and dumb performed a well coordinated choreography, with the guidance of their talented teacher, far better than kids who can speak and hear

When it came to the turn of the blind ones, with the help of a wonderful live band, they performed some notable hit songs so well that I said “there’re indeed talents here”

In truth, each performance from these kids got a well deserved standing ovation

They really rose up to the occasion

As we were being served refreshments, I noticed the live band performing, among many other ones, ‘Stand By Me’ credited to Ben E. King

With what I’ve seen, the lyrics made more sense to me than just a song to sing

An occasion of this magnitude is yet another reminder that there’s indeed ability in disability

I’ve shared my experience in order for all of us to always help and celebrate humanity as inspired by our empathy and not just sympathy

DO YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT HUMANITY OR JUST YOURSELF?
