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 boyfrien d, '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, 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.
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=2 0who left us
too soon.
***************
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.
***************
Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -
Remember that not one of us is 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.
***************
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they
just make the best of everything they have.

down on me!
