A blind girl 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 her in tears and days later wrote a note to her


saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, 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.

*Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too

early to heaven.

*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.

*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 error and we all answer to
the

Divine.

*When depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your

face and Thank the Divine you're alive and still around.
