Maybe it is a very common practice among businesses. Perhaps it happens all of the time and has so far gone entirely unnoticed by your's truly. Even so, I have never before saw a Braille sign in the top corner of the mirror in a bathroom. But just the other day I saw exactly that while my family and I were out for evening meal. Why!? Why would anyone put a braille sign in the top corner of the bathroom mirror? Sure beats me.
I don't want to sound insensitive or anything. Maybe it's completely entirely a common practice to put Braille signs in places that seem strange to the non-vision impaired. Or maybe proprietors of this establishment put the sign up because it was a sign they are required by law or health code or something to display. I feel that this is probably the case.
Sometimes in our society we seem to do a great many things like this. We take things that have a purpose and we use them in ways that make no sense simply to fulfill some obligation. In our rush feel some requisite obligation we missed the point of the thing itself.
Haven't you seen things like this? Have you done things like this? If I were to speak for you, and I would—if only for a moment, I would say yes. Yes, you have done this too. I most certainly have.
The government does it all the time. People in a mad rush to finish whatever they've begun do it as well. And oh man! Does the Church ever do it.
We never stop to think if the thing we're doing that makes so much sense to us is in fact completely nonsensical. No we have requisite obligations to fulfill. We have behavior to police. We have culture to overwatch. We have morality to guard. We have judgment to pass?
How about we just stop right there. I've said enough. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
