Obviously I mean total blindness and not legally blindness, where some vision can still be there.

Lemmings that know a blind person can also pitch in.

You might want to check out Tommy Edison on YouTube. Great fella. Blind since birth. Has answered most of the questions anyone has ever had for a blind person in his many videos. I don't know him, per se, but I do know of him, so I hope that counts.

I seem to remember that he thinks of vision as being like a superpower, being able to know that someone or something is over at a distance without having to directly interact.
