blind... for an hour..

Blinded for an hour is more than enough

Being blind is not easy, even if it is only for an hour. When you cannot see it is a lot harder to get around. The simplest things such as eating nearly becomes an impossibility. When blind, eating takes more than twice the time is should. For one, you cannot find the food on the plate. Second, when you have finally found the food, getting it on the fork is difficult and to make it even worse half of the food gets spilled before it can even get close to the mouth. However, living without food for an hour is not really a problem compared to when getting around; walking without an eyesight is as a matter of fact truthfully a difficult task. One wrong step can be the beginning of a fall. One wrong step could also mean stepping on a Lego building block and I have tried that and can confirm all doubts about whether it hurts or not. Because stepping on a Lego block hurts, it sends a throbbing pain from your foot throughout your body. Fortunately the pain stops in seconds, but you still remember it. After the Lego incident walking blindfolded becomes a horror as the memory of the pain from stepping on the Lego block still creeps around in the back of the mind. 

Overall, everyday-life gets way too troublesome when being blind. For me being blind for an hour was more than enough. Therefore I can with confidence conclude that the hour I spent blind is the first and hopefully the last hour I will ever spend blind.
