Interpretation
The statement challenges the idea that “blind” love is necessarily naïve or irrational. By juxtaposing metaphorical blindness (overlooking faults) with literal blindness, it suggests that love’s “blindness” might point to a deeper mode of knowing—one less dependent on appearances and more grounded in empathy, presence, and sustained understanding. The implication is not that sighted people love poorly, but that love’s truest comprehension may come from forms of perception beyond the visual: listening, trust, care, and imaginative recognition of another person’s inner life. It also critiques superficiality, proposing that what we call “blindness” in love could be a deliberate turning away from surface judgments toward essential connection.
