This story talks about the talk between Robert, a blind man and Carven. Robert is a friend of Carven's wife. They worked together a few years ago. Since then, they became friends and sent tapes to each other to talk about everything around their lives. Robert had a wife, but she died from cancer. I think this woman was really loved with Robert, so she could undergo that her husband cannot see her, and cannot know her mood from her face and eyes. When she was happy, her husband cannot know how happy she was, when she was sad, her husband had no idea since he cannot catch her sad from her eyes and face. Therefore, she must be independent and learn to be brave and strong. It is difficult for this couple to experience these things so they must be love with each other deeply. So when the wife died, Robert must be really sad. Carven does not like the blind man at first, he has never got along with such a blind man before, so he has no idea how to talk with Robert and he cannot understand Robert's life. However, such a man teaches Carven a lesson about how to feel the world. It is not enough to experience the world through eyes, heart is extremely important. Heart can deep your feelings and make the world more transparent. Using the heart to look at the world can make the world more beautiful. And I agree with that. Sometimes eyes cannot distinguish what is true and what is wrong, but if you use heart to feel it, your heart can tell you which one should follow.
