Very true indeed. I always welcome a person trying to walk me through a place, even if I am extremely familiar with it, because otherwise, we won't be getting to know the person at all. Besides, in a place where we are the only person with disability, it's always better to behave normal -in the sense that we shouldn't be excluding ourselves from the rest of the people. Sometimes, those who come to help us become our good friends and even confidants.

However, this type of things seem commin all over the world. If it is about humorous things, oh, yes, I have a lot and they are all quite good. The ideea of a documentary on the point is really good, as long as it doesn't follow the general tendency of media to make hearts melt and eyes waterry. We, I think, have had enough of this. We are all aware of what we are and, sometimes, people's mentality, good or bad, is due to us also, we like it or not. It is our fault that, instead of explaining people how they can be more efficiant for us, we just become aggresive and do not even wish to communicate properly while we are offered for help. It is our fault that, even if not needed, we do not manage to accept a help which might make the one who is offerring it, happy and comfortable. Of course I do not mean to hurt anyone, but, the more we seet and protest against ignorance of society, without trying to understand that people can't know us as they simply haven't deel with such situations of having around a blind, the deeper the gap between blind and sighted would become. What about trying to understand this thing, like lack of knoledge, knoledge that we can bring by talking only and making things clear for the one who helps, educated or not, he or she has the right and maybe the wish to learn how to be useful. Of course, it might be embarracing, that is there, but for everything we have to pay a prise, and, the situation is that, we have to give it, in order to be understood and integrated properly. Apart of rights, we all have obligations towards the society, and, I think, opened and patient communication is one of them. Regards, Adina How about never?
