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.

Before you  complain about your husband or wife –

Think of someone  who’s crying out to 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 error  and we all answer to the Divine.

 And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down –  Put a smile on your face and thank the Divine you’re alive and  still around.
