The Cathedral

This story was very weird, both in how it was written and just the story itself. I do however think the blindness metaphor is the same as a lot of the others i have heard. The ones who cant see are usually the ones who see the best, or something along those lines. The ending really confused me, and I still don't really get it. I mean did he make him blind? Or did he just finally come to understand the metaphor i mentioned earlier? Only part i didn't like about the whole blindness thing was how cliche it was. A man who really kinda hates blind people comes to "see" what they do? Come on, who hasn't heard that one before.
