One of Tommy's defining features is his optimism, and it is at its most obvious as he shares the good parts of being blind.

Aside from the superhuman hearing and the lower electricity bills (think about it), some of the major perks are the freedom from the visual prejudices that we all have without even thinking about it. It's all very well saying that you don't judge people by their looks, but a blind person is probably the only person who can say it truthfully.
