Answer:
1) "Bible verse Mathews 3:16 says that eyes are blessed because they see and blessed are the ears for they hear.
Men take life and the senses for granted.
They see and hear without concentration and without understanding how blessed they are for not being subjected to the dark and silence.
It is the people who are deaf and blind who actually know what sight and hearing ability mean.
1)The mystery of the language was revealed to Helen by Miss Sullivan.Miss Sullivan was an expert teacher who was trained to teach the blind children. However, she had to be very patient and innovative while teaching Helen as she had hearing disability too. Miss Sullivan would often write the spelling of the all the objects on Helen's hand after allowing her to touch them. For example after giving her doll for a while, she would spell the word "d-o-l-l" on her hand. Miss Sullivan had to face a great difficulty many times making things clear to Helen. Once Helen got stuck at knowing the difference between 'water' and 'mug'. Miss Sullivan took Helen out; she put her hand under the spout and let Helen feel the cool stream on one hand, and on her other hand Miss Sullivan spelled the word "w-a-t-e-r". That living word awakened her soul to the secret of learning words with their meaning.
2c)Unsure which specific answer to which you are referring, but recall responding to a couple of comparitive questions in relation to spiritual belief systems and the STEM-like fields.
I most likely was using the language, beliefs, vocabulary etc of the one, to illustrate the position if the other.
Playing with words I guess, but also challenging those who lay claim to certain words or phrases to accept, and maybe even appreciate, that those same words can validly be employed to support often contrary beliefs.
