Blind Ignorance is Not Bliss {Insp}

"Blind Ignorance is Not Bliss" *

*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 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 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.

*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 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 wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another, remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down,
put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
