Wow!!!! If you had respect for blind people it should just go up in many folds now.

It is beyond my imagination on how they can go around do regular things that I wouldn't be able to do if I was like them.

Fascinating indeed. Empathy and respect, I have both for them.

Two weeks back, I had surgery in my both eyes and I was so panicked what if I won't be able to see anymore? Just thinking of being blind made me so worried and puzzled that I can't even explain...
