We are not blind but we don't see things as it should be

I was going home from work the other day when 2 blind men rode in the jeepney that i was riding. They were telling the driver where they will be dropped off since they can't see where the jeep was already heading. The driver asked further where this place they are referring to, i was just listening while other passengers where telling the driver where the exact place is. The two blind men very well described the place and the important landmarks. I came into realization afterwards, the driver who seems to know the place well and can see where his route is should know where exactly the blind men were heading since he is a driver after all, but it appears that the 2 blind men much knows the place and the landmarks when in fact they don't even see a thing. I myself have lived here for many years but didn't know the place where they are heading to. The place was a suite which i think they will be rendering their massage service since it's known here in my place that blind men are being trained for massage services. Why is it that we sometimes tend to not see things which are right in front of us? Sometimes we appear to be blind so that we don't see these places or these people around us. We are given eyes by God to use but we never use them properly. Those blind men were not given the opportunity to see God's creation but they see more that what people with two good eyes can see. What about you? Do you sometimes tend to be blind so that you can't see some things? Do you intentionally be blind to see everything as nothingness?

yes. that make's us human. you should know that they are blind they compensate for their being incomplete. it's seems you are amaze by this two blind people and you differentiate them from us who are complete. you can see their abnormalities because you petty them. which makes you a bad person. and yet you make them as sample of your discussion for us to know how you amaze by this two gentle men. which you imply that they were more capable than us because they see things more than us. which is absurd. they see thing's more than us because they need too. not like us we ignore things we already see. because we don't have to memories every establishment we pass. we simply ask for the direction. which blind people hard to do. because they need guide they don't need direction. you get's or do i owe you an apology?

Yes i am amazed by how those blind men see things..they may not be capable of seeing what we see but they are more keen than those with two good eyes. I am not a bad person, i don't definitely 'pity' them but i am only amazed by them and i am very happy to see these blind men. My father gets service for massage from blind men as well and i can say that no matter how incomplete they may be, they work and earn professionally unlike others who rob and kill people to get money. My point here is why we people tend to be blind when in fact we can very well see the things around us. We can't even see a small piece of candy wrapper in the road and get it to throw it on the garbage bin because we are too lazy to get it and see that it could somehow destroy our mother Earth slowly.

And no need for an apology, it's just maybe the way i write it that made you see my point. Positive mark on you for that

they say "we see things as we are." perhaps others would see things that we would claim as surprising ... "Two prisoners looked out the window from the cell. One saw the mud ... the other saw the stars!" What do you think ?

So one sees things negatively while the other sees things in the positive way? Did i get you right? I think yes, We tend to see things as what we want to see and appear to be blind to the things we don't want to really see. Thanks :)
