There is a story about a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She detested everyone except her loving boyfriend, who was always there for her.
One day, she turned to him and said:"If only i could see the world, i will marry you."
It wasn't long someone donated a pair of eyes to her.When the bandages came off, she finally able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her:"Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
The girl look at him and saw that he was also blind, just like her before.
She has not expected that and the thought of looking at his closed eyelids for the rest of her life totally turned her off.
Her boyfriend left in tears. Days later, he wrote her a note saying:"Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine."
This story illustrates how selfish - knowingly or otherwise - we can sometimes be.
Lets use this story as a gentle reminder and not forget where we have come from and who had given us a hand when we're down.
