A. One is so blind that he can’t see his mother before him and so deaf that he can’t hear a crack of thunder.
The other is so sharp-sighted that he can see an ant in a forest thousands of miles away and so sharp-eared that he can hear an ant moving in a forest thousands of miles away.
Which is the greater of the two?
Each of us belongs to either of them.
Which do you belong to?
