Blind Walker
I was walking through USI the other day and I noticed this girl in front of me who was blind. At first glance I felt pity for her, realizing she would never get to expirence a sunset, or look into the eyes of one she loved. As i continued to walk, however, i thought more and more about how i might have misjudged the situation. She might not be able to expirence the visual beauties of this life, but she can expirence an entirely different world. One where her images of people and objects are not based upon physical beauty, but rather on the unseen factors. She can go beyond physical attraction and "see" into the persons soul. So in a sense, it ended up that i was feeling pity for myself because I am always confined ,to an extent, to making first impressions on sight, rather than heart.

I really like this. It is so true that today the "important" things seem to be the ones that are beautiful in appearance and not always in the heart. Your post made me see that I do the same thing, make my first impressions on sight rather than heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is very intense. I would have never thought of it that way, but it is true! They get to imagine what things look like and make up what they want rather than being like everyone else. I think that it would be a terrible thing to be blind, but if you don't know any different then maybe they like it better. Hm, very intellegent analysis!
ReplyDeleteIf more people were blind, the world would be a much better place.
