Oh yeah definitily! I understand your point exactly & I feel the same way, when not pursuing this sidetracked thought off 'arima injuring himself'.

I'll have to go deeper on how I see the Arima's mindset, because in my opinion Arima doesn't need to be insane to blind himself. At best he's excessive in expressing his beliefs. There are a lot of different approaches in which believes could get him to get rid of his eyesight. On the top of my head: not wanting to see the expressions on someones face when he kills them (prevent being haunted, keep a steady & firm mind, not be able to get manipulated when someone brings up tragic and traumatic events that happened in the past, since he hasn't witnessed the horrors) this can also have the aspect of seeing too much friends die or people he knows (getting rid of the sense that can put a face/image to a tragic events, is also striving towards the concept of "perfect soldier", nobody can take advantage of you mentally because of the things you've seen); the super-soldier looking for a flashy end logic: he gave himself a handicap (which we can't really call a handicap, since senses balance out, but it might've been a good plan to him before he did it.); The belief of being lost in this chaotic world, being deceived by what he sees, deciding to rely on his other senses to show him the way through battle, which is his section of mastery after all; symbolic beliefs, childhood influencive events,...
