Brilliant absolutely love this Sir Favorite. Have you ever seen the Blind Liverpool Comedian Chris Macall I think his name is

Sorry Christopher I never did, but now you have brought him to my intention I am intrigued, the vicarious line here really is indicative of someone who prefers to observe what others see rather than themselves, another idiosyncrasy of the human condition, cheers David

Heya Kim I’m reckoning the character asking the question here, was being slightly disingenuous to the blind man, so indeed got their comeuppance, cheers David

Profound Monoku, David. Faith created through research is more strong than faith formed via blind embrace. It can withstand life's rigors. Only by sincerely probing the universe can one increase his comprehension of the truth.

I agree Lasaad, sometimes a vicarious view is all people have to go on, especially for those who cannot use their eyes, but for some who can use them, they still choose the vicarious view, cheers David

Perception is in the mind of the beholder Tom, I tend to forget that sometimes myself, cheers David
