On the other, accepting something you could change but choose to accept out of fear of change
He said he didn't change it because he might go blind. The quote was something like, "what good is looking normal if you can't see it?".
I'd say that's legit fear and not weak.
In an ideal world I'm sure he'd like to just look normal, but he does seem to have done a good job accepting his condition. The mind has to fool itself a bit to do that, I think? Then again, you see fat people on nude beaches and they have the attitude "this is me, and if you have any issue it's a you problem", so maybe you really can become so comfortable in your skin you truly don't care. That should be the goal for everyone. As we all know, the people who feel the need to make fun of deformities, fat, intelligence, etc, or anything else out of someone's control are the ones with the problems. Society might get this right one day.
I felt grateful for what I have while watching it, that's for sure.
