The Blind Girl

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of corneas to her and her sight was restored. On the day her bandages were removed, her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked to find that her boyfriend was blind too, and she refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying, "Just take care of my eyes, my dearest one." This is how the human brain works when our circumstances change. Only a few remember what life was like before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life is a Gift

Today before you think of saying 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 for a companion. Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early. Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren. Before you argue about your dirty house - 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. And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had a job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and be thankful that you're alive and still around. Life is a gift: Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it and Fulfill it.
