Tell Me Why Are We, So Blind To See


I was in main bus stand, was supposed to go to private bus stand on back of this but had 15 minutes time, so I sat and played chess, a man stumbled on to me from back, i didn't had any valuables so I was pretty chill. He asked me to show direction to the new bus stand. I said this is the new bus stand. He said no no sir, the new one, they demolished a jail and built a bus stand for rural buses, not this one main bus stand. I grasped the context and I deducted he was blind, at that point, i realised there's no point in saying go straight and take left, so I dropped him off at rural bus stand and walked towards my private bus stand destination. And yes, i abandoned that chess match, I'm just elo 120, so it's not big deal. But before that, I saw a clip of "a different man" movie and wanted to watch it this weekend, google said it's on prime, I checked it's not there, neither on Netflix or jiohotstar, so I said sebastian stan aka my guy Bucky may have to wait, let's chess instead and I started a match. And then all this happened. A different man did leave an impression on me, and I'm at loss of words here, would i kill myself if I lose my eyes like him or face getting trashed like a different man, I might say no now as I have eyes legs and everything, but what if that happens, pain is personal, how we operate in fire is different from how we say we operate when there's fire, hypothetically.
