Our eyes were closed
while in womb.

Blindness is within us.

We close our eyes in case of
too much glare.

Genetic inertia lures us to be back
to our pre-birth blind time.

Seldom we get used to the new lights
and as such despise from core.

Yes, we are toddlers in brightness.

Is our social blindness due to this syndrome?

Are we not awake and with visions?

May or may not be… who knows!

Manoj, it is never too late to be born again - out of the darkness and into the Light, seeing with vision.

I love this writing, Manoj. It speaks of such innocence of life when darkness is warm and comforting. Unlike the threat that coldness and discomfort can pose to us in darkness as we know it as adults.

Very thought provoking! We can't remember back to what it was like to be in the womb and cannot know as a baby in the womb, what it would be like to be out here. I can see the social aspect to this. Intriguing!
