[Blindtlk] How do I explain?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good evening, Mary,

         If you try carrying out your day2day obligations under the 
premise that, in fact you are not BLIND at all, you see all you need 
too just not with any ocular organs which may or may not even be 
present in the first place. Personally, I lost both seeing organs to 
retinal blastoma at age 18 months. Ever Since, ,  an interest and 
curiosity about how other deviant human animals find fulfillment has 
always beckoned me toward other deviants which, remember, means not 
normal) and occurs where ever human animals congregate. So if someone 
farts in an elevator, he is that collectivity's social deviant.


I think you need to try relaxing, Mary! Is it really the end of the 
world as it is currently constituted if you are not in complete 
control at all times? Remember, not everybody get's to choose whether 
or how they will exert control. And, we have to learn to be okay with that.


Also, as a proud social deviant, you might try taking or leaving 
Ol'Sighty's suggestions. Of course, he couldn't appreciate what it 
feels like to be blind you, just as we could never appreciate how 
having  nonnegotiable access to everything within our midst might be 
a condition like living in a world in spite of access to functioning 
eyesight might impact our life experiences? Is it really more 
fulfilling being "sighted? do we not do the same things as them, but 
in different ways? Haven't we accomplished a helova lot independent 
of their input? I'm not saying develop some chip on your shoulder. 
Just don't become subsumed by the pressures Ol'Sighty chucks your way.
And an experience of  being misunderstood  and outcast, thereby 
socially excluded from the main stream has showed me just to 
demonstrate what it is you believe Ol'Sighty ought to know about how 
you get the same job done... Just embody it, that way nothing is left 
to their interpretation or wild imagination. Also, studying  the 
struggle for social inclusion of other social deviants and others 
whom were excluded based upon nothing more than whom they happen to 
be in the world that came before  you can show you how deviants of 
all stripes whom proceeded you found his own social equiliberium or, 
in fact, never found it at all ,which is okay, too.
Also, accept your limitations. Do your best, of course, to try to 
circumvent them if you can but not in the name of that which is 
plainly unrealistic or untenable.

Good luck, Mary Mary!
