The statements about Virgil’s experience offer a powerful reminder of how much we take our ability to see for granted. It’s easy to forget that the process of seeing is not just a matter of passively taking in visual information, but of actively interpreting and making sense of that information.

Moreover, Virgil’s experience highlights the importance of our other senses in helping us navigate the world. Even when he couldn’t see, he was able to rely on touch and other senses to understand his surroundings.

Reading about Virgil’s journey has made me more appreciative of my own vision, and more aware of the incredible complexity of the human brain and its relationship to the senses. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of taking care of our bodies and being grateful for the many gifts we often take for granted.
