Seeing Nothing
StoryIllustration★★★★At the close of an address, Helen Keller gave her listeners an opportunity to ask questions. One of the younger members of the group said, perhaps without thinking, “Miss Keller, isn’t it awful to be blind?” Like a flash she replied, “Not half so bad as to have two good eyes and see nothing.”
The point
When asked if it's awful to be blind, Helen Keller replies 'Not half so bad as to have two good eyes and see nothing.' True blindness is spiritual or moral indifference.
