So where does this leave Matt Murdock?   I think in context of lacking sight he is pretty well off in comparison to most blind people, as his sight is made up for by his exceptional hearing (plus he got to do that “I can see you because its raining” thing with Elektra in the movie, which I thought was quite romantic even though the rest of the movie was a little off.)   Of course I think this comes down inherently to the spirit of the person, and that the saying is basically just a sort of a catchy thing which doesn’t have much meaning.   After all looking at Matt you wouldn’t get much out of his eyes, despite the noble hero that lies below.       

Eyes are the window. Mouth is the door.

I actually tend to think you could get a lot out of a blinds persons eyes. The type Matt is. I think people look more honest when they know eyes aren't on them. It's like when you look at a photo of someone who is looking away or in their own little world. Even applicable to ones self. Its the blind people with no eyes at all I worry for... 

@SC

I didnt really think about it that way.  I suppose it depends on the nature of the blindness.  If it is in the brain, then it might be the case, if it was a physcial problem (like a detached nerve) then it might not be as noticeable. 

good stuff

Blind people are like cloudy windows, their intents are a little harder to judge. But it terms of a metaphor, there is more than one way to look into a house, you just have to find it.
