Interpretation of blind people falling off bridges

A blind man accidentally stepped off the bridge deck when crossing the bridge. He leaned over and almost fell under the bridge. Fortunately, the crossbar on the bridge railing stopped him, so he grabbed the railing with both hands, but his body was suspended in mid-air.

Blind people have crossed this bridge more than once before. Especially on the second day of the spring rain and flash floods, when he crossed the bridge, he heard the sound of running water under the bridge, which was a bit creepy and scary. But this time, the blind man crossed the bridge, which was in the season of crisp autumn and dry river. Ordinary people can see the dry river bed under the bridge when they cross it. Walking on the bridge feels like walking on a dry road. However, the blind can't see the situation in the river. Judging from his past experience, he thinks that this bridge must be an abyss with fast flowing water. So, after he slipped, he tried his best to hold the railing of the bridge tightly and struggled to climb it; At the same time, I am eager for help from others.

At that time, people passing by the bridge saw that the blind man was grasping the railing of the bridge and was in a state of panic. Laughing and pitying, he said, "Don't be afraid, your feet are not far from the ground. Just let go and you can land." Blind people don't believe this. He thought to himself, "You won't give me a hand, because you want me to let go and fall. Isn't this a deliberate lie? " Thought of here, he couldn't help crying in despair.

After a while, the blind man was exhausted, his hands slipped and he fell down. What the blind man can't imagine is that his feet hit the ground in an instant before he could feel the weightlessness in the air and the sadness of throwing himself into the river. So that after landing, the body wobbled before it stood firm. It turns out that there is no water under this bridge at all, just as passers-by said. The blind man was relieved at this time. He smiled a little sheepishly and said, "If I had known that the bridge was not high and there was no water below, I wouldn't have hung on the railing and suffered."

It is not ridiculous that a blind man fell off the bridge because he couldn't see the road clearly. The blind man's reasonable idea about the danger of falling off a bridge and that people will help the poor has been distorted by the special environment where the bridge is not high and the river is dry, and has become a joke of false alarm. This phenomenon tells us that it is not possible to establish complete trust between people overnight.
