[Faith-talk] healing, blindness and other thoughts

[qubit]

Hi George -- My experience has been that people who have been born blind or 
lost their sight at a very early age and have blindness skills developed at 
an early age tend to have your opinion. The people that have a harder time 
doing without vision are those like myself that have lost their vision 
either as adults or gradually from childhood, and so need to work a lot 
harder at coping skills.
Sometimes it gets hard to have a wonderful attitude.
Sorry to ruffle your feathers.

I for one dont want my sight back, and i find it extremely annoying when 
people want to pray for God to give me sight as if there was anything wrong 
with being blind.
No thank you, God made me this way and i am happy being blind and dont feel 
like I missed anything.
Sorry about the rant, but when blind or cited Christians start talking about 
"" getting cured "", it ticks me off to no end.
