The one is a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, sitting at the side of the dusty road, begging for his piteous existence. At one time, he had been able to see but for some reason, he had lost the power of sight. No longer could he see shapes and forms and colors. Now he could recognize the faces of loved ones only in remembrance. Unable to see, he was also unable to work. There were no NGOs to help the blind in his day, no way in which he could possibly earn a living.
