“I cannot see the world or speak, but my hearing is still intact, still keen.”
The sounds bring me more than the calm they seem to offer on the surface. More than anything, they bring me the protagonists of these stories, whose words accompany me on the road to happiness.
The protagonist of this story is disabled, and that is a metaphor.
Bitterness is the injustice of fate, and hardship is society's indifference. Together, they form suffering: an invisible shackle that keeps people from standing up straight.
