Buddhist story

An email story that has been going around -

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend, who 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. 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, 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.” People often change when their status and that of others who care for them change. Only a few remember who was there for us during terrible times.

We will never know how much others sacrifice for us,
while we hanker on how much we sacrifice for others. - Stonepeace
