Yesterday I was thinking about the story of seeing leaf veins when glasses were put on the boy’s eyes. The story of a child whose eyes were blurred and when he first wore glasses, the whole world suddenly became beautiful and extraordinary for him.

I was one of those kids and had a similar experience when the world suddenly became beautiful and exceptional for me with glasses.

I remember as a kid the night sky was very dull and unattractive for me. My siblings used to go up to the roof and count the stars and even made up imagined constellations with their fingers, but for me... I couldn’t figure out what the appeal of these inconspicuous white bubbles was?!

They were subjugated by nature, but for the outside world seemed kind of dull and lousy. My grades were not good. After all, I couldn’t see the blackboard and my teacher had made me sit in the back seat because I was tall and I could never understand why everyone was ahead of me.

Until I accidentally went to the ophthalmologist and the doctor wondered how I had lived all this time not realizing I had a poor vision! He prescribed me glasses with a high number …

Interestingly, it didn’t occur to anyone that it was the case because I foolishly imagined that all people see the world as dull and for everyone, the sky, the earth, the clouds, and the leaves as dim bubbles. I had never had a pleasure of seeing vein's leaves before then!

I remember the first time I wore glasses was when I was sitting on the carpet reading my textbook. The moment I put the glasses on, suddenly the flowers on the carpet started to shine …

How beautiful and exceptional was that moment that I have never forgotten it... not even to this day,  

Everything started shining at once...

The world was suddenly amazing … I do not understand … I mean really what I saw at that moment changed everything... that lifeless blurred bubble, which had made me indifferent and numb … suddenly burst.
