This article fascinates me because I have always been scared to lose my eyes. I wear glasses due to weak eyesight and I have always imagined the horrors of going blind. Reading this helped me a lot of my fear as I learned about other people losing their senses and have done well in life.
Every human being is born and brought up differently, their mind works differently. Which means that the adaptation of a certain condition will come differently. Our mind and our senses are multiple machines that works connected to each other. For when one of these senses are destroyed, it is up to the man’s perception, behavior, and identity to limit the use of the other senses to move on or to create an alternative. Hence, People with the same condition stand out to differ in their ways or coping up to the daily life.
The article is very well versed with different inputs of people suffering from blindness and it is astonishing to see how they all react to it differently. Yet this condition is not limited to some people which makes it necessary to go on a wide search of answers and base it on the experiences of the larger population. The author by limiting himself to the experiences only confuses himself to an extent. It is true that something that is dealt with in the childhood stage of life is more controlled than when it is in adulthood. When the mind is in a development stage like of a child’s it more easily accepts the uncertain conditions and evolves with the child as it grows up. Reallocation of senses sounds a little strange as the heightening of the responses from the other senses looks more genuine. One can agree upon how when blindness occurs a person loses the most crucial senses to a human but at the same time learn more about its surroundings than before with the help of all the other senses working together. With the increase of the responses, one’s connection and focus increase as well.
