People are very weak when it comes to a pretty face, and once they see that, nothing else matters. It looks pretty so it must be pretty, musn't it? But if it's ugly, then the same logic applies so it's an ugly thing unworth their time. Thus, a blind person is more likely to find true love than someone who is cursed with sight. Yes, cursed.

Not that I'd give up my already-pathetic vision or anything, just saying.

hey, at least i didn't lie and say, "well it's what's on the inside tht matters so what you can see with your eyes opened means nothing."

haha, don't tell me you aren't a former/current biscoglio student, you can't hide it.

anyway, about the statement. i don't think what you see really matters at all. what counts is how you apply that vision or lack thereof.

Well, in a sense, this statement correlates to the coined phrase "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it ( ... )
