Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.
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.

To me, the remarkable thing is it's pretty much unanimous the way blind people have been perceived in all cultures and for millennia. The first is, if they can't see, they must be stupid. The second one is, and this is a very old one, that blindness is such a terrible thing that it must be a curse from God for some evil that you committed.
God's colors all are fast.
The wisest man may be a blind father.
Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast.
