Color... Blue... Blind...


Sa isang umpukan, naitanong sa akin ni bonjai kung "how will you describe color blue to a blind person since birth?"...

Narinig ko na to dati pa pero ngayon ko lang binigyang pansin. Napaisip ako kung pano nga ba... Kung wala silang sense of sight maaaring mas enhanced ang other senses nila kesa sa mga sighted person... So pwedeng yun ang gamitin to describe a color to them...

So let them feel, taste, hear or smell para they will see colors in their mind...

To describe color blue, use a cool glass of water, hindi cold, dapat cooler than room temperature lang... let the blind person feel the coolness of the glass.

You can also talk about the sky, the sound of running water can also help...

Let them feel the mist in their face...

Sa ganitong paraan, mabuo sa kanilang isipan ang color blue without making it all about seeing it...


Did you know that...If you have a test coming up, the color blue can make you work harder... This color helps you focus and clears your mind.

So for that test, study in a Blue room and write your notes in Blue ink!
