The Color of Colors
Topic : BlindnessFor 51 years Bob Edens was blind. He couldnt see a thing. His world was a black hall of sounds and smells. He felt his way through five decades of darkness. And then, he could see. A skilled surgeon performed a complicated operation and, for the first time, Bob Edens had sight. He found it overwhelming. I never would have dreamed that yellow is so yellow, he exclaimed. I dont have the words. I am amazed by yellow. But red is my favorite color. I just cant believe red. I can see the shape of the moonand I like nothing better than seeing a jet plane flying across the sky leaving a vapor trail. And of course, sunrises and sunsets. And at night I look at the stars in the sky and the flashing light. You could never know how wonderful everything is.
