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 died
too early on this earth.
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.
