Life teaches these lessons as well. Living and being blind causes us to
have to go through many trials and we must endure and learn to be strong.
If we immerse ourselves in scriptures we can learn by the examples of the
great Godley men and women in the bible the proper way to live. It seems to
me many sports are a waste of time one could be using in meditation and or
prayer. If one wants to keep physically fit one could purchase a gym and
work out at home.
