There are several reasons why I’m grateful for eyes:
- They’re fun to look at. Ever look at a newborn’s eyes? Your significant other’s?
- They interpret light. My ears can’t interpret light. My feet can’t. But my eyes can. They can perceive depth, color, texture, etc.
- They inspired the creation of the camera, and we use to our eyes to look at photos of good memories.
Paraphrasing a quote from Dune, “don’t rely too much on sight, it dulls your other senses”. I wonder what I’d be able to see if I didn’t have eye sight. I suppose I could be grateful for that too: that life is still wonderful even without eye sight.
