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.
Few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in
the most painful situations.
Today before we say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before we complain about the taste of our food - Think of someone who has
nothing to eat.
Before we complain about our husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying
out to GOD for a companion.
Today before we complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to
heaven.
Before we complain about our children - Think of someone who desires
children but they're barren.
Before we argue about our dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think
of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance we drive Think of someone who walks the
same distance with their feet.
And when we are tired and complain about our jobs - Think of the unemployed,
the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before we 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 us down - Lets put a smile on our
face and thank GOD we're alive and still around.
