THE STORY OF LIFE

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

I would like to share a story I came across...

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind and she hated everyone else as well, except her loving boyfriend who was always there for her no matter what. She told her boyfriend, "If only I could 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. She was shocked at the sight of his closed eyelids. She really hadn't expected that! The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life depressed her and thus led her to refuse to marry him.


Her boyfriend left, dejected and in tears. Days later she received a note from him, with these words stated simply; "Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine."


Sadly, this is how human often are when our status changes. Only a very few remembers what life was like before, and who was always by their side in painful situations, when the going was rough, when they were yet 'somebody'. They often forget the person who had stick by their side, believing in them, rooting for them, and loving them no matter what the future would have brought.

This is THE STORY OF LIFE.

i'm sooooo gonna curi this n post it k babes!!

babes,was it you or someone else wrote or read somewhere that it is better that someone else goes through the mistake than our own self..its less painful!(or fidos maybe...cant remember)...

what i take from that is learn from everything, from our own past n from other past so that we can avoid it. often i would say Alhamdulillah that i cm across these stories n cases sbb Allah bg chance kat aku dpt tau benda2 canie n mesti ade sebabnyer...

may we wont be like the blind lady babes..EVER!

(aku tau u meant a certain person tp i chose to ignore it..u do the same k!)
