I started wearing glasses while I was in primary division in school.Those days ,many would ask sympathetically," Can you see without glasses ? " Really if glasses were the cure for blindness, it would have been fantastic !
Understandably ,my near sightedness is awful...I miss even the obvious ! I have a medical problem.I fail to observe so many things...the artistry in & around me which is very much at display ! I fail to observe & wonder at the birds in the trees,the mango flowers heralding the onset of summers,the clear blue skies,sparking waters in the lakes, & so on.This has got more to do with my attitude of being self centered than with my glasses !
Blindness actually makes people more observant.Those who are visually challenged develop a sixth sense & detect the faintest of sounds.It is the perfect example of how when one door closes,another opens up.There is even an Indian Cricket team made up of visually impaired sportsmen ! This team is the winner of the current T20 World Cricket series !
Those who cannot see with their eyes can click snaps too.In fact ,there is a Blind with Camera club which has bridged the gap between those who cannot see & the world of photography !
Hence ,blindness can be overcome, as these examples show ! We just need to have the vision to see
beyond what our eyes show us !
