A Sunrise Through Dark Eyes

(I am assuming that all people referred to as "blind" in this blog were born "blind")

Seeing (pardon the pun) that blind people have never had the chance to gaze upon anything and have no real concept of what objects look like, I understand that references to colours and images will not be effective. More unique explanatory techniques will be required.

"The first step in understanding what a sunrise looks like, is to imagine a ball. Although you have never seen a ball, you have felt its shape before in your hands. It is very round. Imagine that ball in the middle of a blank canvas"

"Now you must imagine the colour of that ball. I know that you have never seen colours, however, all colours have emotional connections to them. Thus, I want you to imagine that that ball in the sky is the same colour as you feel when you are being cowardly or afraid. Imagine that the ball is yellow"

"The next step is to imagine that yellow ball surrounded by a plethora of colours. To understand the array of colours, imagine yourself when you are experiencing mixed-emotions. There is red for angriness, blue for sadness, yellow for cowardliness, green for sickness. Think about all of those emotions mixed together into a beautiful mess."

"Finally, now imagine all of this coming after a great length of blackness. Think about what you can only observe on a daily basis, and then imagine yourself suddenly being able to open your eyes to what has just been described to you. This occurrence is what it is like to view a sunrise after a dark, black night"
