Sympathy gets aroused most effectively when people can share the feeling of the suffered. I guess not many people have the experience of being blind, or having a blind friend or family member. It’s not surprising that the remark “I’m blind” didn’t really cause much ripples in the pedestrian’s mood and make them donate. On the other hand, most people have, at some moments of their life, experienced the beauty of the world. The new statement simply reminds us of the wonderful experiences and makes us realize how huge the loss is to lose one’s eyesight.... I guess that's why it worked.
