I mean okay, I'm not really THAT afraid of it...
I just have concerns about what would happen to me if I went blind.
I can't see shit without my glasses, I mean everything is a fuzzy mess. And I can't wear contacts for reasons detailed in this thread/post: http://www.sectual.com/thread-1199-post-...l#pid18216
So it's glasses or nothing. And it's really weird to not be able to see worth a shit when I don't have them on. I can't freaking read clocks, I can't see peoples' faces, I can't SEE any freaking DETAIL. It's just a bunch of blobs of varying sizes and fuzzy hues.
My eyes aren't actively getting worse as far as I can tell, things are still crystal clear with this prescription that I've had for over 3 years. But I dunno... I just think about what the hell would happen if I went blind. Or if it was just the end of the world and no glasses were available and I had to go around and try to fend for myself not really being able to see.
I wouldn't be able to fend for myself. That's the bottom line. I just wouldn't. Even if I wasn't entirely blind.
I feel like I need to start going around without glasses on and try to get used to perceiving the world that way. There must be a reason/purpose for blurry vision and I've always been sort of fascinated about solving that mystery. Why do we have blurry vision?? What's the meaning of it? I can't really figure that out if I constantly go around with 'corrective lenses'. Right? I have to walk the walk and understand first-hand why things are this way.
What could possibly be the reason for impaired vision?
And think about it... vehicles for example are a new invention. By nature we don't travel vast distances every day. If we can't walk there, we don't do it. By nature, we clearly aren't meant/made to go all over the place. We're clearly meant to stay in a pretty limited area, and the biggest concern of the day should be finding food and water. Basically. Not traveling around vast distances and doing all kinds of crazy shit.
And if we had impaired vision, we'd probably travel around with our bodies even less, right? If you can't really see where the hell you're going, you'd have to take extra time and care walking etc. And this would make the normal every day task of finding food/water pretty much the biggest pressing issue of all and really, I think that's basically ALL life would be about. Bottom line. That's it. That's all life would be about.
Navigating whatever terrain you're in the middle of, finding food/water, and making it back to shelter before night fall. That's it. That's what life would be about.
