Blind Faith.

So today I have an ear infection and I can't hear out of my right ear.

I became really excited at one point today and my heart started racing from the excitement.

Well, since I am basically deaf in my right ear (for now, at least) and it made it even harder for me to hear others speak. The noise just became quite annoying and reminded me every second of how I am alive and my body was working.

So I was thinking...

Is that all deaf people hear?
They live every day seeing things move, peoples lips move, read about noisy buttons, watch emotion change on peoples faces, seeing people watching people on TV and watching the person become interested and amused on what the person on TV says and no noise....

Yet, all they can hear is their own heart thumping in their ear?

And what about a blind person who has been blind since birth?

They can hear everything that goes around them, even better than most people, but how would they ever begin to picture what the person who is talking to them looks like, when they have no real knowledge of what a shape even is?

The world is so complex, how would they picture a bird in their mind; when everyone describes things by comparing them to things that they already know what the thing looks like to describe something?

Most people need to see it to believe it, but if you can't see anything, then how are you going to believe anything? You would have to put all of your trust in others without really knowing, and never being able to truly know, which would be similar to a blind faith.
