Darkness, caution, defenselessness, and confusion are the feelings that can best describe the situation I was in that state of voluntary blindness. I moved from the reality of sight to that dominion of being blind. It was like suddenly losing my sight in an accident as opposed to a slow loss of vision, although I knew that it was temporary and voluntarily.
I made my first movements with a lot of fear and caution, my body constantly waiting for any impending dangerous impact. I took my steps thinking of what lay ahead and beneath. I began to acquire courage and started to walk. My other senses started working overtime in response to the traffic noise and the wind direction. I was afraid, but with admiration for the blind, I was able to navigate through the street, the supermarkets, the sidewalks, and back.
About the experience and my reaction, though for only a short time, it was so compelling and provoking. There was need of addressing the needs of the disabled. They should be guided during the crossing of the streets, given priority in public amenities like the supermarkets and the hospitals. I started to realize that I have never done enough to help the disabled people especially those who are blind, and I made up my mind to always give them my help whenever I bumped into them across the streets or any other place. (Vaughan & Schroeder, 2018).
This experience generated a more significant effect on me.

I realized how these people feel and how difficult it is for them to live without the help from the public. It does not matter whether you know the person who is disabled or not. One should put it in their mind to always give a helping hand to them. I also realized that while it seemed that they are used to their situation, it is true that no one can get used to the condition but since they find themselves in the circumstances, then, they have no other choice but to continue living. (Feeney, D. 2007).
Stating the worldview of those who live daily with a disability will be an understatement. However, from the short experience, it is evident that these people take their daily lives with a lot of faith and hope. Faith that nothing terrible will happen to them in the cause of the daily activities walking from one place to another, and hope that on their way they will have some good Samaritans to help them. They live their lives also with lots of disappointments since they expect much support from the public who are not aware of their calls and needs.
