You heard about love is blind.. How abt blind is love?
“Thank You God!” That would be my first words every morning when I wake up. Everytime I open my eyes, I can see how great God’s creations are; the green fields, colourful flowers, and the blue sky. It’s such the greatest blessing when we are able to see. Can you imagine what if we were blind? Our life is in the continuos darkness. Just imagine how dreadful we feel if its even only an hour with no power at home!
There was once a student who wanted to experience how would it feel to be blind? What do they have to go through? To experience it, he closed his eyes for three months. The first thing that he felt was he lost his confident. Didn’t even able to pick his clothes, couldn’t even imagine how he would walk out of the door. He felt much suffer those people who can’t see have to go through. At the end of the experiment, he opened his eyes and the first thing that he said was, “Thank You God for blessing me with eyes so that I can see Your great creations.”
On the other hand, he also learnt not to judge the book by its cover. Are clothing brands like Aigner, Boss, CD important? Are great cars like BMW, Mercy essential? Is cosmetic necessary? Is it basic to judge a person from their skin colour? Is it matter to value a person from their face, their small eyes, blue eyes, or long hair? Is beautiful face vital? Are great house and garden matter?
For the blinds, these things do not excite them, they don’t need all these. They won’t be tempted by beautiful things, they aren’t interested in great decorations or how the food looks like, but what is most important is their taste. They are not interest and do not need the outside looks indeed! That is why I am (the write) sure our life will be less costly if starting from tomorrow we shop and buy things not based on their packing, or their covers. I am also sure that we will make more friends just if we don’t see a person just from their exterior!
Not all blind people want to have their sight back. A song writer of “Blessed Assurance”, Fanny Crosby who was blind since she was 8, wrote this song gladly when all other girls were playing outside:
Oh, what a happy soul am I! Although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I shall be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don’t. To weep and sigh because I`m blind, I cannot--and I won't!
Ps. Stop blaming love for being blind ^_^
