just a personal observation

Do you mean:
1) being physically blind but spiritually sighted vs.
2) being physically sighted but spiritually blind???
Choice #1 is worse, because a person can be physically sighted and spiritually blind, but their spirituality can change, and they can finally "see the light." A person always has hope of seeing God's Truth, so we should never give up on them.
Being physically blind sux the big one! I have friends since childhood who are blind. Trust me, it sux! It's not the end of the world, because they've made successes of themselves, and have gained much more independence than what some sighted people would imagine, but blindness does suck big time, nevertheless.
I'm not blind but partially sighted, and even this experience sucks. Being blind would be far worse!
Now, if these were our choices:
1) to be physically blind but forever spiritually sighted, vs.
2) to be physicaly sighted but forever spiritually blind
then choice #2 is worse. Physical blindness ends, but to be forever spiritually blind is to be forever out of touch with God. That is soooo sad! I'd much rather suffer physical blindness than be forever lost from God! Besides, physical blindness ends, so there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Trying to understand the question. Think I got it, although it was stated in a rather confusing way. The question is not whether one is blind to the truth, but whether one is willing to consider all options. What I believe may not be what you believe. This does not mean either of us is blind. It merely means that we see the "truth" differently. Never presume that because one doesn't agree with you, it means they are blind. They just reached a different conclusion using the same set of facts. Who is to say which conclusion is right or the truth?

None.
being blind & understanding the truth - blessed.
blind to the truth - would need some assistance with directions.
not willing to see truth - it is a personal struggle; no one has the right to judge/condemn them.

Blind to the truth and not willing to see. Close-mindedness is so selfish. Not seeing is the absolute worst.

Psa 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Psa 119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your LAW IS THE TRUTH!!!
are you blind to the truth?
Prov 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light.
Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jhn 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Jhn 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in Yahweh.

Truth. I'd rather be blind if it meant it would be the only way I'd have it.

All I can say to that is the man who was blind from birth,was very grateful when Jesus gave Him sight.He knew the real truth.

Truth is relative. My truth is not other people's truth.
