A Blind Girl's Painful Lesson

Extracted this in Mypaper today, tot it's a good reality check. Are you like that?

There is a story about a blind girl who hated hereself 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 before someone donated a pair of eyes to her.

When the bandages came off, she was finally 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 him and saw that he was blind, just like she was before.

She had 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 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. It shows we can easily forget where we come form. We often take our friends and loved ones for granted, even though they helped us through the most trying times.

We often fail to acknowlege those who have been intrumental to our success..
