The deleted comment below was mistakenly deleted. It read: The Blind have no concept of blindness. I answered with two comments after it.

Good point. Physical blindness is the absence of light, for which the Blind can have no concept. But spiritual blindness is the inability to recognize love. Love is still in the spiritually blind, but they misinterpret it as different things.

We say that a bad person has no conscience, but it has simply been suppressed and is not recognized.

In spiritual blindness, they experience it as a weak or troubled conscience. It is not the absence of light. It is the misinterpretation of the essence of love, agape.
