More than we ever will.

Awesome insight. I really like the way this quote comes at you full force and bluntly. Very true in many circumstances.

Interesting contemplation. Seeing people turn "a blind eye" to what they don't wish to know. I suspect that on average, blind people are more receptive to more input than seers allow themselves. Not only of spoken words, but subliminals and any other input that will improve their decision-making data base.

Maybe the problem is...we are calling the wrong people blind...that our sight is nothing more than our own arrogance...yes, looking deeper we can see...but then we are no longer blind. It's almost a paradox.
Thanks for entering the contest.

Being a partially sighted person, I would definately agree as most of my blind friends and I have loads of them, are very intellectual and see things in a less shallow way (i.e. not judging by looks or image) which, makes them far more knowledgeable! I like to think I have some of those traits being registered blind (though not quite blind) myself. Nicely put.

Are you joking?
Add more to it. You're such a tease. Here's your big opportunity. Tell us why a blind man sees more than we ever will. Should we just simply guess. By the way I did like it.

I am planning to return and add more to this, but for the moment the rules of the contest dont permit me to. 11 words only are allowed. Thankyou though!
