Men’s Journal: The Blind Man who Taught Himself to See 

Among many types of disability in life, blindness is the one that scared me the most. To hear, to smell, to walk, to breathe to name a few, are all special and beautiful skills that humans are designed to use and enjoy, and many take for granted. To lose an ability or sense is such a tragedy indeed, but personally, to lose the ability to see must be my most dreaded disability.

The article linked above tells the story of a person who completely lost his ability to see, yet able to develop one of his other ability to an uncanny level. I’ve heard story that blindness can cause a person to increase their sense of hearing, but to have an echolocation ability? In other words, to fly as good (and as blind) as a bat? That is an unbelievable skill and/or talent. To be completely honest, as I was reading it, I was saying to myself, this man must have super-power!

In my personal opinion, the story of Daniel Kish is one that can really spark a hope to one of the biggest disability of human kind; blindness. And it definitely sparked my afternoon to a new level. And hopefully it can do the same to you

Now if only more research can be done in this field…
