Who knows?
I am amazed by some of the humans on this rock island we call home. Its too bad that so much of our time is wasted on argueing over perception. Especially now, since we're learning that perception will never be the same between two people. So remember if its blue to you, it might be green to me, but we both call it blue!!

VG,I saw this chap on a TV program about a year ago,he is truly amazing,he has a most
gifted and wonderful talent.


regards michael.

Re: Blind painter

He could see inside his night dreams and in his imagination, as we all do, without the eyes contributing, plus he had heard many descriptions of nature, so he drew what he knew, gauging the positioning of the portions of the art composition and thus achieving a reasonable art piece, even more if he was artistically talented.

We're actually being robbed, I guess. Every thing has its polar complement. Humans might be the most limited in many ways simply because we are at the top of the food chain.
