However if I did have a child without sense of sight it would be unbearable to not be able to see that child grow up. Missing the joy that mothers have when seeing a little version of themselves or their father. Watching a child take its first steps and not being able to witness that would be awful.

    From what I have read in “ The Mind’s Eye”, I think that every blind person’s experiences are different. The author uses John Hull, Zoltan Torey, and Sabriye Terberken as examples, the three have a drastically different experience when it comes to their inner eyes.

In my younger years, I had always thought that I would rather be deaf than be blind, but recently I’ve changed my outlook on the situation.

In middle school, I got my own MP3 player and was finally able to develop my own music tastes. On top of my long and loving history with music, I’ve also started to compose and create my own pieces in my free time, thus bringing me even closer to understand the one truly universal language.…

We even have the ability to improve certain senses that are not up to par, such as eyesight.
