Não sei se o Saramago colocou os cegos desta maneira, mas, na minha opinião, ser cego é um constante teste de fé.
É como estar sozinho na parada de ônibus num dia de chuva, só você e sua guia, e seguir seu instinto de se afastar da calçada ao ouvir um carro ao longe para escapar de um banho inesperado.
Também como caminhar sozinho pelo centro da cidade e esperar pacientemente uma boa alma ter a boa vontade de te acompanhar ao atravessar a rua (e ainda sem roubar tua bolsa).
E se o instinto errar? E se a boa alma não aparecer?
Bem, acho que daí não resta muita opção.
A não ser acreditar.

The Catcher in the Rye
"O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio" pode não ser o título de livro mais atraente que você já viu na vida, mas com certeza tem um dos melhores conteúdos.
People always think something's all true. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2
People never notice anything. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 24, spoken by the character Mr. Antolini
Okay, páro aqui, senão vou acabar citando o livro inteiro.
