The Tale Of The Blind Girl Who Hated Life

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 her 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 we all answer to one MAKER. 

And when depressing thoughts seem to get 

you down - 

Put a smile on your face and thank GOD 

you're alive and still around.
