Blindness is Perfection

today i thought: would'nt it have been great to have been born blind? i mean it seems so perfect. most people probably won't understand this. let me explain. since the moment you first open your eyes, the first way you judge something is how it looks. you might go deeper into learning about it but the fact is is that people judge everything by how they see it. imagine if you could just listen to music and form an opinion of it instead of seeing what the band looks like, what the album cover looks like, or even what the music video looks like. i love music and i've even caught myself not even giving a band a chance because of what they look like, or if i think their video looks stupid.
i got to thinking, what if you judged everything by the way you heard it. i mean to someone with sight, a waterfall is a waterfall, even if they vary in sound. to someone who is blind, they could hear 2 different waterfalls and picture 2 very different things. you would have so many pictures of things in your head, you would be so creative because of all these pictures.
even with girls it would be great. most men are shallow and many of us can say that we've had a real connection with someone, but that person was not physically attractive, so they never made a move, maybe out of embarrassment or what have you. if you couldn't see someone who you are talking to it would make things so perfect. you would judge them by what their opinions are and how they see life and maybe you share some of those ideas. i would love to meet someone like that, but i can't really say if i would be inrterested if i didn't find the girl physically attractive. if i was blind i would feel attracted, even if i felt her, and maybe shes overweight, i would have no idea how that looks and therefore i would most likely be interested.
sight is holding everyone back. people would be respected by their intellectuals instead of who is the best looking. high school would be great for the losers now because they are usually the most interesting people, its just that no one knows it because they might be shy or intimidated by outgoing, beautiful people, who are at the top of the popularity chain. people would be judged by what they should be judged on; their opinions. what a perfect world.
