“In a minefield a blind person is not more likely to be killed than a person who can see.” I thought about it, and realized that she was right. Still, I told her, I would not want us to be blind. But were we not, in a sense, two blind girls? One would walk everywhere as though not a single mine were buried in the field. The other would not find the courage to take a step because the whole world was a minefield.”
