"The abstract ideas that Helen could not understand were ideas like ‘think’ and ‘love’.
When Helen had some difficulty and struggling to arrange the beads in a pattern, Mrs. Sullivan wrote on her head, ‘think’. Helen immediately got that it was the process she was doing in her head while trying to arrange the beads and understood the concept of thinking.
When Mrs. Sullivan wrote on her head, ‘I love Helen’, Helen couldn’t understand its meaning. So, Mrs. Sullivan explained that love was something like a cloud. Although we cannot touch or feel clouds, we can feel it when it pours like rain and makes the flowers happy and quenches the thirst of everyone. Similarly, love also cannot be touched but can only experience it and something that connects us with others."
