Allow me to share a recent personal quote of mine: <i>I'm chuckling inside my head right now - as I repeat this tiny favorite motto of mine since high school, it is with much further conviction: there is no black or white in life; there never is. No "right" or "wrong." Moments are gray, full of opportunities to deliver compromise.</i> Eloquently insightful, Adam.

Oh sorry, i forgot, you're not even IN sri lanka doing ANYTHING to improve the quality of lives of others. Your insensitive and ridiculous comment was appalling. But merry christmas. How about a new years resolution to review your predjudices??? In response to Erick:

I agree with you David, I also need extra help understanding RLM's points, especially comparing deafness to drug addiction. That's a new one for me.

I did understand the point of Adam's blog, and was merely adding my own insight - as the other commentors on this post have also done.

Your wonderful piece came in at just about the right time, as it gave me a new (and old) perspective on CIs and Deafhood. I am indeed grateful that I have this "option" - how could you not want to hear your little one's constant chatter? I just turned my “option” back on the other day, and it’s been years.
