Words would mean nothing

if we've never seen it before.

After so many years, if you had to live a day without vision it shouldn't be too bad, especially if someone can verbally explain and guide you through everything. However, if you've never experienced vision then no matter how descriptive it is, the words will mean nothing* because you can't attach something tangible to the word. It'll be hard to understand the adjectives used by itself, let alone using dozens of adjectives used to describe something else.

We were eating the other day. jw was in his philosophy class and we started this discussion. People basically connect feelings to words. We don't actually know how it feels to be happy, sad or in love. But once we get this feeling we think it must be that thing they all call being happy, sad or in love. So... imagine all the feelings that exist, but we "don't feel" just because there isn't a word to describe it in the english language...

Day 18: Your favourite room in your house.

First, I don't really have a favourite room in my house.

Second, I'm not in my house.

Third, I probably won't want to post of picture of a room in my house even if I could.

So, I'll just leave you with this:

There's a secret room, somewhere.

* I hope I don't offend anybody here by saying nothing. It's more figuratively speaking. I know people who are visually impaired are still able to experience beauty and see in different ways. I know your sense of touch help envision a lot of things, so for sake of argument say you only have your ability to hear a computer voice throw words at you...How would you know what sharp is? Cold? Smooth? I should just stop talking, I'm making it worst.
