उत्तर
Love, knowledge, affection, loyalty, happiness, these are the things which are not tangible and elude our visual or tactile sense. But as Helen observes, the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller could not see or hear but her achievements belie her physical limitations. Her intellectual capabilities and aesthetic sensibilities could not be constrained by her physical disadvantages, her thirst for knowledge was unquenchable and her love of life, human or natural, boundless. It is interesting and inspiring to read the story of her life because she triumphed against all adversities, overcoming them with grace and learning from her mistakes. Nothing could stop her from charting the course of her life and it is a lesson for us in overcoming our obstacles.
