Self-explanatory. I was just wondering because this question popped up in my head and I had a tough time answering it, so I wanted to know what you guys thought.
Now that I think about it, I'd rather be born blind because you're at the best you can be your whole life. If that made any sense. |

I think i know what ya mean^
i dont really know i would want to actually know what people look like so becoming blind i would still have a picture of what the world looked like around me. did that make any sense?lol but i think i would be more devestated if i did suddenly become blind because i DID know what the world looked like. and i would miss that so i dont know. |

This is kind of like the proverbial "better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all".
I would rather have seen the world and lose sight of it than to have never seen it at all. |

i'd rather become blind, so i won't be totally lost with what things look like . . and things like that. if i was born blind, i'd have to use my imagination . . but if i became blind, i'd already know what most things look like

I agree with Fae. I would rather have lost it, but at least gotten to see the world at all. Imagine if you were born blind, you wouldn't really know what people looked like.. or what colors were.. at least you'd have a better udnerstanding of things if you had lost your sight.

 What a hypocrite. Group: Member Posts: 2,754 Joined: Apr 2005 Member No: 128,150 |
I agree completely.
Being born blind is, IMO, better than just becoming blind because you've already gotten use to the blindness, and you're already used to not seeing, so.

I'd rather become blind.. because I mean-- if you were born blind you'd never ever be able to see what other things look like..
 I would hate that, at least if I became blind I would know what things looked like & stuff.. But I wouldn't want to be EITHER!

I'd rather be born blind..it's more devastating losing something valuable to you as opposed to never having it.

I'd rather to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but then, I'd rather never see the world than to lose sight of it. Love is like a feeling, something that could stay inside. In my opinion, it is stronger than an image.Besides...there's more imagination if you have always been blind. A leaf could look like something wonderful; money is just a piece of paper. |

I'd rather be born blind. It'd be natural to me and I wouldn't really miss anything I couldn't have.
