OT: Something that made me think
BLIND GIRL
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's
blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for
her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her
boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see
everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you
can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw
that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her
boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:
"JUST TAKE CARE OF MY EYES DEAR."
This is how humans change when their status changes. Only a few
remember what life was before, and who has always been there in the most
painful situations.
TODAY BEFORE YOU THINK OF SAYING 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 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
WISHED THEY HAD YOUR JOB.
BUT BEFORE YOU THINK OF POINTING THE FINGER OR
CONDEMNING ANOTHER.
REMEMBER THAT NOT ONE OF US ARE WITHOUT SIN AND WE ALL
ANSWER TO ONE MAKER.
AND WHEN DEPRESSING THOUGHTS SEEM TO GET YOU DOWN PUT
A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND THANK GOD YOU'RE ALIVE AND STILL
AROUND.
