The Blind Man Sees...

Okay... I know anybody who has ever seen kung fu flicks has seen the blind man that whoops everybody's arse...

"(Sigh) Again with the martial arts..."

A lot of people laugh at the classic blind martial artist because they don't think it's possible for a blind person to defeat a person with 20/20 vision. Most people see blindness as a hinderance and a handicap... So quick to make these assumptions we are (<---shout out to Master Yoda)...

Consider:

1. The blind man sees that we're all the same mankind because he cannot tell one race from another.

2. The blind man sees the true beauty of a woman because he cannot see, and therefore cannot be swayed by, her superficial outer beauty.

3. The blind man sees the true importance of being a good listener because, in the absence of his sight, his hearing becomes his strongest sense.

4. The blind man sees past looks of disapproval and can tell the truth without their distraction.

5. The blind man sees the true importance of what a man says because he cannot use his eyes to express himself.

6. The blind man sees that he is much more than his appearance, for he himself doesn't know what he looks like but knows that he has significance.

Perhaps now the concept of the blind martial artist isn't so far fetched? Perhaps some of you out there realize that you're really the blind ones? Isn't it amazing how a "blind" man can see so many things that some of us with "vision" can't? See there?
