"So if given the choice to be colorblind would you choose it"

I dunno....maybe.
I have had people tell me "oh thats too bad you are color blind".
I say "it is?"
They dont see what I see
Whose to say my world isn't much prettier?

"or is colorblindness in your case not optional,
it is part of your condition of being,
and thus not open to choice"


I think I heard there are contact lenses available that "cures" it
So maybe it is optional.
But I think I'd rather just stay the same than deal with contact lenses
sometimes/many times....the medicine is worse than the disease.

there's lots of "depends" and "maybees" in life

This reminds me of an old zen story I have always loved.....

There is a story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically.

"Maybe", the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed.

"Maybe", replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.

"Maybe", answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.

"Maybe", said the farmer.
