My friend is blind from birth and he is so afraid of dark. Its for real. When is night he doesnt go out from home. Never. He can listen to music, all night with all lights on in his house. But he never experienced light. He just knows light is good and dark is bad. He always repeat " night is bad. Being blind its.nothing compare to darkness which i cant see but i feel it with my whole heart"

The show could have been so much more interesting if it included people blind from birth, who don't have any visual frame of reference...

I am just fascinated and curious about how blind people dream?

There are different machines which can help a blind person to see even if he is blind by birth. I know about that because i am blind to

Blindness got nothing to do with all of those personal theories that people like to contradict about but i thought it could be seeing the color ivory but it's the vision being too blurry that makes more sense.

[revized_gaming]

DUDE no one asks what do you see when your blind is it black or blurry or like what, please I need to know

[abinlalu]

The most intresting topic i have ever heard

[myra]

Being blind doesn't make you any less. We are all the same, we are human. I personally don't want to call you "blind people" . .you all are the same to me. A person. Have a good day

[yahwehforchristians]

I bless Yahweh Who is the Light of the World for us all who are blind to kindness. Most of us who see really don’t “see”. ❤ שלם עליכם

[ttbalog]

Do they like to be told "sorry" or pitied in any way?
I was waiting for that question to be asked.
