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 a
nd 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.
