Indeed, losing sense of sight would be the hardest loss of the 5 senses. There is a lot of light, goodness and kindness all around us - we just have to be open to seeing it:-) Andre, thanks for your comment.

Of all the senses I believe this is the most vital. The worst scenario for me is to live in a body with all your senses in tact but your mind is disabled by disease such as senility or Alzheimer's. Many people are already blind to the good in their lives always looking to what others have. So many of us look for the darkness in humanity failing to see that we are blinded by our own faults. There's no dearth of kindness in the world of ours; Only in our blindness we gather thorns for flowers. Gerald Massey I think the sightless world is a frightening place to be.

Yet, I do believe that we can learn to see so much more by just being fully present and also being aware of what is really going on around you e.g. with a friend who is with you. We all have this great power of intuition and if we can learn to tune into it more, then we can probably do even better with less eyesight. Thanks Amit

Why not start a new project. 'Be blind for a day for a real inSIGHT' Give people the opportunity to appreciate more of what they see. P.S. speaking of sight I just noticed that tiny smiley face you have at the bottom. Very cute! ;-) Amit That’s a fab idea that you and Steve had.

It would certainly make appreciate much more what we already have. Maybe should also try closing down our sense of smell for a day and see what it's like not to be able to smell the flowers! Steven, maybe we should all try what you do and blindold ourselves for a day. It would certainly make appreciate much more what we already have.

Maybe should also try closing down our sense of smell for a day and see what it’s like not to be able to smell the flowers!

I remember that when I was about 13 years old I was in a summer camp. One day our camp counselor said that we were going to learn something new that day. She said that we were going to learn what it feels to be limited in one way or another so that we could appreciate our health more. All kids were broken down in couples and all day long we had to be blind, deaf, not able to use our hands or legs. It was fun for us because it was a game when we could experience something absolutely new in life. The next day all of us felt how easy our life really was and how appreciative we had to be for what we were given in life.
