Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
[[wow]].
I am away doing other things for a little and I come back.
It depends on what you guys call minor and probably has to do with your location more than anything else.
I do have a cane ofcause and I strive to not be guided, I do still use guides, a cane is no good on the grass and in crouds I have my mum or others holding my cane so people don't trip over it.
Where I can sence the crouds will be to large I simply don't use cane as its just to difficult to even bother using.
While I have had trouble with the local blind services they are quite tame to say the nfb.
Ofcause being an adult I am expected to ask for assistance not given it.
Still I am given free things.
I am not entitled feeling or expect free things but I am happy if I don't have to pay for something.
One thing as long as you after recieving a free thing help someone else then it does work out.
As for cars and driving, self driving vehicles are round the corner sooner or later no one will need to drive like we do.
As for the rest of it.
Blindness could be a desese some conditions are genetic.
You can't catch blindness, you could catch viruses that could cause blindness but hmmm its not a big issue.
How major is blindness.
As long as you accept your limitations, I can't drive, maintain things, use tools and a few other things then its fine.
It is a major issue ofcause but not as major as having no brain, being deaf to, being unable to walk.
If anyone here thinks blind ness is a major issue go see the movie breathe you don't need audio description to get the gist and look it up on wikipedia.
You should also listen to interviews about the main character.
You will then know what major is!
Being blind in the grand scheme of things if thats all you are is not a major thing, in fact its quite minor.
Now as a kid to a teen and through certain stages of life it was major to me.
A lot of things have improved since then.
Grabbing all chances was one of the hardest things I found hard to do.
I do sadly have those in my family 1 person that says because I am blind that its just to hard to work and I am slower.
I accept that getting a job and keeping is a challenge especially with how things stack for normals these days.
However sadly, as soon as you are disabled some people assume you get a job because people feel sorry for you, or that they want to make themselves feel good and this is not the case.
Now here in new zealand we do have some millitant elements, we also have a few supportive elements.
For whatever reason we have managed to get a ballance which has got things done to a point things could always be better but even so.
Sometimes I liken nfb to the un, resolutions are passed.
Sometimes they have effect but sometimes not, in fact most are probably never followed at all.
Forcing someone to do something doesn't mean well that they will do it or do it to the best of their ability.
I am happy we live in a place where a lot of the mainstream tech is now usable by us.
Software wise its all on marketing, and what is used.
Not much we can do about that.
In the end users must do things themselves and tell whoever what it is and ask them to look at it mostly they listen.
