Birth; It is defined as
the transition from
darkness into light
as a child opens
his pure eyes
to the world.

But for the newborn blind,
he enters this world
without his sight
and never knows
the warmth
of light.

Life; It is the transition
from birth to childhood.
Innocence becomes
adolescence and
youth turns to
adulthood.

But for the aging blind,
he can never notice
the effect of time
as his hair fades
from brown to
white.

Death; It is the loss of
life and also of light
as man closes his
eyes and gives
his final
goodbye.

But for the dying blind,
the transition from
darkness to light
does not exist,
so death comes
quietly.

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;" -Edgar All

For the Blind: It is great because the transition is from dark to light eventually. It is true that the blind wont see the beauty and the virtue of the world and admire all what God gave us, but at least he can guarantee that he wont feel how we are abusing the nature and every good thing in this world is misused in a destructive way and never constructively
