I see your point of view, and you may be right. But another way to look at it is that the parent with the magic pill may not think his child's blindness is a big enough deal to bother with giving him the pill. He may think his child can be just a good a person regardless of whether or not he can see. Maybe blindness isn't a real good analogy, because it IS a rather big deal. How about a wart? Would a parent remove a wart if the child really wanted it removed? The quick answer is yes. But we do not see things as God sees them. Maybe God doesn't think it's a big enough problem. Maybe He wants us to see beyond the wart. Or perhaps He can use that person to reach others who also have warts. Or maybe the wart can teach us humility. Of course that brings us back to whether or not God WANTS us to have that wart. Kind of a chicken and egg scenario.
