Mary was blind at birth. Doctors during those years
had been unable to do anything to correct the
situation and although her parents lived in anguish,
not being able to see was normal for her. After years
of training to live in a dark world, Mary got a job and
moved into her own flat. Several years later the
doctors she occasionally visited for check-ups told
her that a new technique had been found. This
technique could restore her sight. One would think
that Mary would have jumped at the possibility to
see, but actually she was not at all happy about this
situation. She had never seen anything before. She
had established a life for herself in a world without
sight and the thought of changing this lifestyle was
frightening. She was more frightened of seeing than
of not.
