Not needed by everyone but recommended for everyone.
Nowadays, humanity is at different concentrations. And with no doubt, the deaf are still one of those considered at the lower edge of the hierarchy.
Due to their inconsiderable number, their potential has not been appreciated; maybe for some, but very few.
Their main challenge is hearing. But they can still bring a transformation with what they still have. As the saying goes, “There is light in every tunnel.”
From the 16th century till today, the solution has been the sign language.
A language that involves gestures of the hands and body and facial expressions to express a thought or idea!
It has been a revelation to many of our hearing-impaired loved ones. It is as rich and complex as the oral language with all the required complex grammar. It is a language that is unlimited. It can be used to discuss any subject.
At the beginning, I declared that it is recommended for everyone. It is factual. We need to share this exceptional language with them so that we can correspond with them, appreciate the sound proof that surrounds them and foresee their effort and will.
Hope you get the drift!
We call on each other. Man is a society. We need each other to develop and advance. So do them! As Henry Ford puts it, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”
Just like an oral language, there are different types of sign language. For example, french Sign Language, British Sign Language, Danish Sign Language and many more.
Try learning it as something new! As the Chinese proverb goes, “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”
It is a useful piece in our current social world.
