‘Hey, Max, you look pensive, what’s up?’
‘Well, Max, I helped a blind lady in the street the other day.’
‘Wow, what do you want, a medal? And so?’
‘So, I was crap. I walked her the way I walked, you know, against red lights, jumping puddles, slaloming other pedestrians... I was pulling her all over the place.’
‘I hope she hit you with her stick.’
‘I realised that I walked like everything else was an obstacle to me.‘
‘I sense some profound nonsense coming up...’
‘I realised that, although she was blind, I was the one who couldn’t see.’
‘Oh, Jeezus...’
‘Because she just walked like everything else simply was.’
‘I hope you realise that we wouldn’t be having this conversation if she had a dog...’
I offered to help a blind person and his comment was: "It's not because I'm blind that I can't see". He was quite unpleasant and rebuffed my offers of assistance so I walked away.
ReplyDeleteBet he didn't see the dog poo...
