There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was
blind. She hated everyone, except her loving
boyfriend. He was always there for her. She
told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the
world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the
bandages came off, she was able to see
everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you
marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and
saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed
eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that.
The thought of looking at them the rest of her
life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a
note to her saying: 'Take good care of your
eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they
were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status
changes. Only a very few remember what life was
like before, and who was always by their side
in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone
who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think
of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of
someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children - Think of
someone who desires children but they're barren..
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't
clean or sweep - Think of the people who are
living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of
someone who walks the same distance with their
feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and
those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or
condemning another - Remember that not one of
us is without sin.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a
smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
