Respect for Non-Living Things: Part 2
Spectacles.
A thin piece of frame, together wif a pair of lens, is placed in front of the eyes, held by the nose and the ears. It is a must for anyone wif severe deficiency in the eyes, whether issit short-sightedness, long-sightedness etc. Spectacles allow these pple to see clearly again, so that they wun walk into lamp posts, kick the leg instead of the ball, or see the president of singapore as their maids.
Hmm..basically they need spectacles to survive.
TO them, spectacles are their most intimate things after their underwear..haha...they are worn almost 20 hrs a day, to sch, on their journey home, during eating, drinking, studying, watching tv, playing computer...only taken out when one needs to sleep. Sometimes pple even fall asleep with them on.
AS for me, i was diagnosied wif (blinking light in chi, dunno wat u call in eng) in kindergarten..forgot when got myopia, but it was until abt pri2 or 3 b4 i haf to wear spec b4 i can see.Last time pri sch i change spec appox once a yr..stabilised only when i came to secondary sch...
Since i wear spec almost every single min, every single hr, every single day, every single week etc....i will develop feelings for it one ma.....so even though the spec spoil liaox i oso bu she de change one...
Besides i put tape on it then still can use le wat...y spend money...haix..
But apparently my Mum doesnt noe tt....cant blame her oso..she doesnt wear specs.
So back to the topic.Erm...spectacles, like clocks, play an impt role in (cock-eyed) Man.....without spectacles, (cock-eyed) Man will haf problems doing even the simplest tasks everyday....yet they are oso neglected...often physically abused and deprived of care.
So..talking so much..
Respect ur spectacles.
