« A thorner from Spinoza, Blyenbergh, contrasted him with the famous example of the blind, objecting almost so: "But the blind is not perfect. He's missing something. The view, precisely." Spinoza replies in essence: "Are you missing wings?" If I was asked that, I would say at the outset: "No, of course, I don't lack wings." Spinoza made Blyenbergh understand that if everyone had wings except him, he would miss it terribly. In other words, what is not lacking in itself becomes a lack when I compare myself to the other. »
