Blindness

what would happen if one by one we all lost our sight? what would happen then if anybody who was blind were locked up in an isolated area? what if food were not enough for everybody and what if someone tried to take control of it?

Those questions are addressed in the movie "Blindness". The people in this movie had jobs, lives, education, purpose, hopes, dreams and freedom before they were blind and automatically locked up in a building. What happened inside that place could be described as horrific and unlikely but is it really?

What actions are identified as human nature and what is considered fiction? Would someone try to take control over the food? would someone want to take advantage of the situation and try to take people's possessions in exchange of food? since nobody has any money once their valuables are gone what do you think they will go for?

Survival is human nature but what does that entail? are we incapable of surviving without taking control over others? hurting, taking advantage or even killing each other?

No, I refuse to think of our kind as intolerable and cruel. Now the movie showed two different kinds of leadership... the tyrant (male) and the caretaker (female). This suggests that the difference in testosterone and estrogen in males and females has a deep impact on our actions and the way we react to stressful situations.

Would the world be a better place if women had the power or the simple fact of making them the powerful sex make them tyrants?

It's too soon to tell but I hope I get to see that before my time is done here...
