An inspiring email I received...

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except for her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. One day she said to him "If I could only see the world, I would 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 eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. At the thought of looking at them for the rest of her life she refused his marriage proposal.

He left distraught, and later sent her a note: "Take good care of your eyes my dear, before they were yours, they were mine"

This is how the human brain works when their status changes. Only a few remember what life was like before and who was always by their side in painful situations.

Life is a gift. Before you saw an unkind word, think of those who cannot speak.
BEfore you complain about the taste of your food, think about those who have no food.
Before you complain about your life, think about those who have lost theirs.

  1. not to take away from the post (because that is a really good point that's brought up)...but, can they actually do that with eyes where you can see again after a transplant? i always thought that blindness had something to do with the nerves and that sight through eye transplants was just a thing of science fiction
