We were alwaysinterested in discovering how the doomed man chose to spend his last days orhis last hours.Such stories setus thinking what we should do under similar circumstances.I have thought itwould be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.It has often been noted that thosewho live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness toeverything they do.Most of us take life for granted.(We go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude towardlife.)We also take the use of all ourfaculties and senses for granted.I thought that short-term darknessand silence make human beings be grateful for what they have.For long ago I became convincedthat the seeing see little.The pageant of seasons isthrilling and unending to me.At times my heart cries out withlonging to see all these things.If I were the president of auniversity I should establish a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”.How you would use your own eyes ifyou had only three more days to see?I should want most to see thethings which have become dear to me through my years of darkness.I should want to see the peoplewhose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.I am denied that deeperunderstanding of them which I am sure would come through sight of them.Friends who are near to me I knowwell, but of causal friends I have only an incomplete impression.You never use your sight to seeinto the inner nature of a friend or acquaintance.Many of you can’t describeaccurately the faces of five good friends.In viewing the most spectacularsights the eyes of seeing persons are lazy.I can see the things that I shouldsee if I have sight for three days.
