Not A Disadvantage
In a 2012 interview with The Guardian, Wonder inexorably brought up the subject of his sight. He was asked if he had ever felt disadvantaged as a result of his blindness or being born black. And to that, the celebrity replied, “Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.”

Loving Himself
The “Overjoyed” singer continued, “I am what I am. I love me! And I don’t mean that egotistically. I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.” Overall, he considered himself fortunate to have such an abundance of musical inspiration. He added, “The genius in me is God – it’s the God in me coming out.” That’s a great attitude, especially considering he wasn’t born blind. In fact, if things had gone differently, he would still have had his sight.
