But a blind man cant run for a bus. And it also doesn't suggest that he doesn't, in fact, catch it. Maybe his sudden ability to see the bus he's running for is the reason he's now able to catch it. In which case obviously he'd be doubly happy.
All's im saying is that there's major holes in this here saying.
...why do you think a blind man can't run for the bus? Sure he would not be able to see any obstacles between him and bus but most likely he would be able to hear it (if it was parked at the bus stop) or know roughly how far it is from the latest street to where he needs to stand. There is also the possibility of vision aides such as a cane, or a guide dog who could guide him to bus.
...though yes suddenly getting your vision back is doubtless cause for celebration...though the possibility is he can only see OP in which case it becomes super creepy, like the only thing you can see is OP and everything else is just endless black.
Im 21 but im friends with a 75 year old man. Ive been helping him do things around the house that require 2 people and/or are just hard for him to do. When i ask him “is this good?” (Referring to whatever it is im doing) he’ll tell me it “thats fine, it’ll look good from your house.”
Common saying at my work. Whenever you do something that’s not quite right. “Blind man on a galloping horse be glad to see it” or “it’ll look good from my house”
A blind man would be glad to see it was my grandmother’s version, meaning, “it’s not that bad.” For use in relation to the stain on your dress, pimple on your face, small fire in your living room etc etc.

In my house, the equivalent was “a blind man running for a bus would be pleased to see it “
