text: how would you describe 'sight' to a blind person? how would you word such a description to someone who has never experienced sight you can't.  based on personal experience when i went completely blind for several hours as a symptom of shock. i think  sight, to someone who's never experienced it, is as incomprehensible as blindness is to a sighted person who's never been blind. and if you think you can imagine what its like to be blind, i promise you, you're wrong.
