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 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

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.

And when  

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

your face and  think: you're alive and still

around.
