20/20 vision…

Previously blind patients who receive the recently FDA-approved Argus II bionic eye system will regain some degree of functional sight. The retinal implant technology, developed and distributed by Second Sight, can improve quality of life for patients who have lost functional vision due to retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that causes retinal cells to die.

We are not machines. But we wish so much to become one. Help to the suffering will come with love and compassion. Not with artificial components. One can lose an eye and still be happy. But a man with 20/20 vision could still be utterly miserable without love and caring… A life in the dark can be glorious. A life in the light can be full of darkness…

    If one can lose an eye and still be happy, but a man with 20/20 vision could still be utterly miserable without love and caring, wouldn’t it also work the other way around?

    If a man gains 20/20 vision, he could still be happy. But if a man loses his eyes and also does not receive love and caring, wouldn’t he also be miserable, even maybe more miserable than the miserable man with the 20/20 vision?

    And the artificial components may relieve suffering, so wouldn’t providing these components be a way of love and compassion?

    It basically boils down to love, caring and compassion, no?
