If Only I Was Blind


If only I was blind, my life would change in many ways. Everything would be different.
If only I was blind, I wouldn’t be able to judge people by the way they looked and dressed. I’d be forced to search beyond the outward appearance into the depths of what makes them who they are. Any immediate judgment I might have had of that person if I could see them, wouldn’t have happened if I was blind.
If only I was blind, I’d be able to strengthen all 4 other senses to guide me. I’d hear things, I might not have otherwise heard. I could smell things, I might not have otherwise smelt. I could touch things, and paint vivid pictures in my mind, that I might not have otherwise seen. I could taste the sweet fresh air on a summer day, and picture what it might look like. I would be able to freshen my imagination into a newly painted canvas.
If only I was blind, I could take life into a whole new perspective. I could see things that would be otherwise invisible. I could dream things that would be otherwise impossible.
