Sign Language is a visual language that incorporates gestures, facial expressions, head movements, body language and even the space around the speaker. Hand signs are the foundation of the language. Many signs are iconic, meaning the sign uses a visual image that resembles the concept it represents.
Most of us reading this post are physically well-endowed, in particularly, with good senses attached. We may not necessarily meet someone disadvantaged with a sense or two. Even if we do, how often do we stop and reflect how we can connect and communicate better with the other person. Do we force ourselves upon them? Or do we try to adjust ourselves and adapt to a mutually acceptable condition to better connect, engage and communicate?
At YP, all of us express our faith in a kind, gentle and joyous ways.
I found that gentleness well-expressed in the movements of sign language. I urge everyone of you to take a day of Golden Silence and try to experience the world of someone who is disadvantaged with their sense of hearing and try signing with your hands throughout the day... If you can take this challenge, you have earned yourself the greatest honor of respect as a YP.
I wish you all the best!
