Life Is a Gift

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.  One day she told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

God heard her wish and makes someone to donate a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

 The boyfriend was very excited for her that she can see, after a few minutes he then 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 ocular prosthesis (artificial eyes) and his funny teeth 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 things got better for them, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

 Life Is a Gift. Appreciate it. Cherish it and always remember that there is nothing given for free, because what you thought you have for free was a cost to someone, somewhere.

Therefore, think carefully before you say unkind words to people around you, and try to love unconditionally.

Until next time
