In a world filled with the symphony of sounds, I once encountered a person enveloped in the quietude of perpetual silence. Their inability to hear me left me grappling with an unsettling notion-I felt as though I were somehow at fault for my words falling on deaf ears. Driven by a desire to understand and help, I embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of their silent world.

In the quiet corners of compassion, I discovered that we held no right to pass judgment on those who couldn't hear our words. Their pain was theirs to bear, and our role was not to cast them aside, but to carve out spaces where they could shine, where their existence spoke louder than any words could. It was a journey of self-discovery, teaching me that the true essence of humanity lies in embracing, understanding, and providing a sanctuary for those whose world remains veiled in silence.
