Delicate but important eyes

The human body comprises of many parts with different functions. These functions are unique in themselves, this explains why the body performs its duty effectively.

While this is true, defect on any part of this human body can affect the way the body functions.

It is possible that one part of the body will be more active to cover for the defect so that the body can still perform at its utmost.

With that said, the human eyes are believed to be the most important aspect of the human body.

There is an adage in Africa and among the Yoruba people of Nigeria which says 'eyes are the light of the body'.

For the Africans, eyes are very precious and that is why it has this unexplainable shield around it that protect it.

Whenever anything is coming close to it, it closes itself up. Even if it accumulates dirt, it has a way of returning them.

Virtually everything we do depend on our eyes. The human eyes guide our paths in life.

Without eyes, one would not have freedom to walk, run or jump as he pleases. If you have seen those without eyes, you will notice how they are conscious of their environments and take calculated footsteps.

They walk that way so as not to bump into anything dangerous and thereby endangering their own lives.

We are able to work or do a profession we like because the eyes are there and functioning properly.

We use same eyes to drive cars, plane and many more. I am yet to see someone without eyes flying a plane or driving a car.

This shows the importance of human eyes. I have seen amputees drive cars, ride tricycle but such can't be said about one without eyes.

It shows it is a precious aspect of human body and one which should be guided by all means.

For those of us with eyes, we need to use it as a guide for those without it. We should be their light and make their world beautiful by letting them see through our eyes.

A world where all can see is more awesome than one with people without eyes. While we can't correct this, since we are not the creator, we should show and prove to ourselves that we are truly human beings.

Humanity means caring for others and sharing love to all irrespective of their physical defect.

Let's love and allow others to see through us.

Thanks for your time.
