This feel-good vid shows the best parts of being blind

7/5/2012

​Being blind doesn't exactly sound fun, but there are all sorts of perks you clear-sighted people probably don't even think about. An example? Special parking. Or how about discounted train fares? (Heck, sometimes they'll just let you ride for free — no one wants to hassle the blind guy). In this awesomely uplifting video — that manages to be inspiring without being cheesy or maudlin — a blind man lists all of the little known advantages to being blind. In addition to basic stuff like cheaper power bills (hey, no lights!), he notes the more serious rewards such as seeing people's inner beauty and being oblivious to race. Now, go light some fireworks and feel good about your life.
