Definition of Life and Memories.

Eyes are dubbed the tool of a human “for see” and foresee things, it’s seemingly true but some have outbeaten us – the blind people.

My college is situated near a institution for blind people, where I can witness how those vision-impaired people make their way from the doormat of the institution to KL Sentral (a place where there are several public transport like light railway transit). They used to walk alone, with no doubt the pavement which is made blind-friendly is not sufficient to boost their poise to walk such far distance, I’m truly impressed.

Their brain have replaced their eyes as a tool “for see” and foresee as well, mainly due to the number of times using the same road over and over again, they can “see” better than us, where some of us could even slipped or tripped by obstacles and slippery floors, they don’t. I’ve noticed that their steps are very strong to nail them down to the floor for every step they take, for the reason why they don’t fall on wet days, astonishing.

We have eyes, but we don’t even use it for vision. I used to say – eyes are the root of evil. Eyes can be as innocent as a dead volcano, yet it can be deadly. The reasoning behind all reasons  for a bad thought to kindle is the eye. Take any crime or fault as example, the most distinctive and infamous one – rape. With eyes, one has no problem carry out his “operation” provided that he is sane and of sound mind. A brawl, it takes 100 percent eye power to help your fist to reach your opponent. A murder, where eyes can get rid of someone with a gun at point blank.

The same road, walked for a myriad of times, where one even has knowledge of the number of footsteps needed to reach a place. Nonetheless, what for? Your eyes have boast too much of your confidence that you’ve lost vigilance. With me being no exception, we do slip in the same path where we used over and over and over again for numerous times. Vision-impaired people are vigilant and embedded with high awareness, they have “eyes” that foresee, no matter how many times they’ve passed the same path, they pass as if it was the first day they are using the path.

So, my human, what are our eyes for?
