Blindness

What is your first impression of the stranger introduced on page 4? Would you offer the same help to the blind man? Explain your answer.

The blind man pleaded,
Please, will someone take me home. The woman who had
suggested a case of nerves was of the opinion that an
ambulance should be summoned to transport the poor man
to the hospital, but the blind man refused to hear of it, quite
unnecessary, all he wanted was that someone might
accompany him to the entrance of the building where he
Lived. It's close by and you could do me no greater favor.
And what about the car, asked someone. Another voice
replied, The key is in the ignition, drive the car on to the
Pavement. No need, intervened a third voice, I'll take charge
If the car and accompany this man home. There were
Murmurs of approval. The blind man felt himself being taken
by the arm, Come, come with me, the same voice was
Saying to him. They eased him into the front passenger seat, and secured the safety belt.

The blind man is in a panic, he's always been able to see, and now..... there is nothing. I would have guided him home, and I hope that there is enough caring and empathy in the world that others would do the same.
