Blind men can see

Its kinda late..i can't get much sleep these days and can't help but think there's more to it than just the couple of sips of revolting ground coffee i had during the past few days..bearing in mind being a med school student( as previously mentioned in detail:))my threshold for caffeine is quite high;)..however i've been getting this thought lately and as u couldve guessed from the title its about blindness.

Has it ocurred to anyone that blind people could indeed be living a much happier, serene and magical life than ours? I believe for sure they are chosen, gifted individuals but perhaps the fear of having to pity someone for being different or even being pitied is forming this barrier vs.their integration, at least in our society.

As sick as it may seem i did, on a desperate attempt to revive my long lost vivid imagination and recover a fraction of the peace of mind i used to enjoy did try to dismiss the fact that i could see and forced myself to walk around my house for hours..eyes wide shut.Of course, me still living with my family, had to wait till everyone was out..i couldnt afford being made fun of nor accused of being cruel..i just wanted to feel how it is to shield the atrocities and "ecoeurant"scenes of this world that we r so acclimatized to that they cease to surprise us anymore and to my surprise thoughts streamed to my head like a lightening bolt..i was connecting stuff in a new scope..was discovering truths about my inner self ive never had time to before..and that was purely because i could finally focus.

I learnt to discover there's a price for everything..not to mention that things we might find as a drawback according to our very limited human scale could seriously be something precious..we just never learn how to appreciate it..the equation will always be balanced..ull always get a complete slice of the cake saved for u..equal to the one given to anybody else in this universe..its just beyond ppls comprehension..me included

speaking of blindness, i had an eye operation when i was 6 years old and had them bandaged for 3 whole long days..i sort of know what's like to have people lead u around lest u should bump into things or fall off the stairs.

the good part is i didn't see blackness..it was more like a maze of interfering weird objects..
plus it was great having to deal with people by just the sense of touch...

i guess the really blind people don't just see Black...i dunno if they r happier or not...but i do believe in that equal-slice-of-the-cake theory.
