Prisoners of Darkness

                When a person without any presence of illness or disability closes his or her eyes, darkness fill in his or her vision. A person who is trapped in a world where no light can be seen and only the creepy coldness of darkness is far more worst than being tortured in fire (or maybe that’s what my opinion is). Imagine your life of only seeing the unlit world and never see the beauty of the world God has created. How will a person enjoy his or her life without anything to see, anything to recognize or anything to appreciate in the wondrous life a normal person may have? A prisoner of darkness, a burden to the society and a creepy individual is what a blind person is.

                I have never imagined myself to be in the state of blindness. I only began to appreciate the pain felt by a blind individual when I started watching this very beautiful Korean drama. It is lovable, funny yet a person will greatly acknowledge the drama by its story centrally focus in the worst disability of the eye. I may not be able to live if I were them, the blind people. But what drive them to still breathe despite of the fatal disability of not able to see this world are the people who still believe and love them. They still hold the hope and faith that someday they will recognize the world they once hated because of the unfairness they experienced.

                Blind individuals are scared and anxious most especially on trusting a person. How can you trust a person if you cannot even see? Individuals who can see the world are having a hard time in trusting others, how much more to individuals who cannot see? Blind persons rely on their instincts and the power of touch to determine whether a person can be trusted enough or not. They may not see you but they possess the most powerful key to identify a personality of a person, true feelings either the good ones or the bad ones. Just by touching a person or listening to the voice, they can already apprehend an individual’s inner thoughts, feelings and personality.

                That is why it’s hard to fool a blind. You may regret fooling him or her most especially if you knew that those foolish things and lies you are doing can lead to sympathy or empathy. The worst scenario can be fall in love with the person you fool in the first place. Don’t be a jerk. Learn how to respect and love blind persons because they are lovable despite of their disability because as compared to a person who have visions, blind persons can see through you without seeing your face inside the deepest soul of your heart.
