The Perfect World..

I am not a visionary,neither am I blessed with any extra sensory perception.Yet,I see things differently,a way which might offend you.

The Sun is Yellow to You,it isn't to me;Snow is White to You,it isn't to me.

They say I hallucinate;well,what is a hallucination?It is defined as perception of something despite the absence of stimuli.I have a question,when there is no light,you perceive darkness;is that a hallucination?When there is no sound,you feel the silence,is that a hallucination too?Or for that matter,the happiness or sadness you sometimes feel for no apparent reason,would you be comfortable,if I called that,a hallucination?

Yes,I stand in minority.I doubt if any of you would concur with my view of reality.To me reality,is what I can and wish to see and isn't it better that way?To me,nothing seems hideous,the flowers are always in bloom,people are always smiling.

I always believed that a person ends up seeing more than he needs to in life and that is the cause of all his misery,well,I am free of that curse!

When I told all this to people initially,I knew they shook their head in disbelief thinking,"Probably he has lost his mind in the accident",some probably laughed too,a couple were humane enough to touch my arm with sympathy,like I was somebody on a deathbed.

And even now,I know you don't believe me but it's fine,really,I mean it,for I might too sometimes find it hard to believe what someone has to tell me.

"Get up!It's time for you to take your evening walk,take your walking stick"."And there is nobody sitting around you,so stop talking to yourselves,you are blind not crazy!".

I do suffer these breaks in my reality,you know,how I hate them!Even though I am blind,I know,the world is only what you make of it,nothing more,nothing less.Fortunately,for me it's much easier to construct my perfect world,all I have to do is close my eyes and escape this wretched darkness.
