There cannot be found in the animal kingdom a bat, or any other creature, so blind in its own range of circumstance and connection, as the greater majority of human beings are in the bosoms of their families.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the most persistent misconceptions about blindness is that it is a curse from God for misdeeds perpetrated in a past life, which cloaks the blind person in spiritual darkness and makes him not just dangerous, but evil.
What you lose in blindness is the space around you, the place where you are, and without that you might not exist. You could be nowhere at all.
The blind must not only be fed and housed and cared for; they must learn to make thir lives useful to the community.
There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there.
Bats have no bankers and they do not drink and cannot be arrested and pay no tax and, in general, bats have it made.
The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.
In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.
For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
