“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”   —   Helen Keller

(Sight is the physical sense, while vision is more about attitude.  Attitudes are largely driven by nurture, conditioning and experiences.  When those formative things are of a positive nature you are more likely to have an attitude that enables vision.  Be well, be positive and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
