Returning The Favor

The Story of a Blind Girl

by STEPHEN on SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 in MORAL STORIES

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:“Just take care of my eyes dear.”This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.

Comments: So many time we take the compassion of others for granted. When we need the service and support of someone they are the most important person in our lives. When we get through our hard times and struggles and see clearly that supportive person is seen as less important. Compassion goes both ways. The one that's supported and the one that's supporting. Never forget the person that helped you Rise Above it All.
