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 PLEASE." This is how humans change when their status changes. Only few remember what life was before, and who has always been there in the most painful situations! share your opinions on this..thanks friends..

That is a truly touching and tragic story. Your right, some people don't realize what special gifts they have and then throw them away when their status changes or things become better in life, like this stupid girl did in this story. But this story is a good example and a good way to tell it! Thanks!

You're right, instead of hurting ourselves in the process we should try to do better and I think this story says that we should think of others as well. She could see better as a blind person I think in the story. When she was able to see, she became a very shallow person. See with your heart and not your eyes.

Yeah, lovely story. And sometimes tragic stories hurt a lot. Instead of hurting ourselves, we should learn from this.

Touching is really not enough to describe something so tragic. I do not know if this is a true or not. But, is a definite testimony of how shallow people can really be. This is a very sad story.

Yeah, it's sad. But illegal in most parts of the world. Doctors won't take living people's corneas. But it's a nice story.

Wow I was very touched by this and sad too. What a shame that she did this to her boyfriend that donated his eyes to her and yet she turned him down all because he is blind I think that is very rude of her and I wonder how she felt after he wrote her say Please take care of my eyes.

I don't think it's true. It's illegal for a doctor to do that. If it were real, I'd recommend him giving up one eye, so they both could see each other. No need to give two. But legit hospitals and doctors would never do that with a living person.

You are right that often people do change as their status changes. Although there is a saying that you should be good to the people you meet on the way up as you might meet them again one day when you are on the way back down. A sweet touching little story.

That was very touching ang hurting story. How i wish the girl did not change so they can get married. Love is mysterious, love can give you everything and love changes everything.

If somebody did me such a service, I would never turn my back on them. I can see what you are saying about change effecting people - but to me it seems that we all need to wake up to this transient existence on our planet. The Buddha discovered in his enlightenment that the source of all suffering is desire. And looked at carefully I can see that whenever I have really wanted something, there was an element of doubt and the way I see doubt is that even when small, it can grow stronger each time we experience it, and doubt tends to bring anxiety and fear into the equation. As a Zen practitioner, I see acceptance of what is, as a path to true liberation. :-)

blind or not, its not the case, dont ever felt that were pathetic, someone carry a heavy load than ours. being blid does not mean that we cannot do an impossible thing. Helen Keller is also a blind person but she made it in history. We need to know our worth.

I am so touched by the girl's boyfriend, who donated his eyes to the girl who later gave him up. It was cruel of the girl, who betrays her promise. I think that after she heard him telling her to take care of his eyes, she will probably make some changes to make her promise to marry him? This is what I am thinking about. I hope that there is a good ending and a good return to the poor young man to make it fair to him for his kindness and loving heart. God bless him.

Its a sad story.I read it again and again.I thought this blind girl didnt deserve her boyfriend's love since she was a self-fish person who broke her promise at last.I hope its not a true thing since its too cruel to this knid guy.I believe the girl would definitely regret after a while.Also the story reminds us to cherish what we already have in our daily life.

I am so sad to have read this story. I am so touched with this guy that he did everything for this girl just for the sake of marrying her and to have a happy marriage. But, unfortunately, this girl is hesitant and do not want to marry him. I hope the girl should have listened first before she refused. This story is very touching and you would really learn something out of it. In this story, it shows that love can do anything, love can sacrifice, love can make another person happy, but on the other hand, love can also hurt you. However, we have to take the positive outcome of love. The guy may never have the chance to marry this girl, but in the eyes of God, he is already blessed because of the love and kindness that he had showed. Thanks for this wonderful story. Have a nice day ahead of you!

Truly a touching story, almost had tears in my eyes while reading it. I was truly shocked, but I know there are people like this in the world who love others more than themselves and then get paid for it in the same manner. It hurts to see how even love doesn't take stand in such people's hearts. How they can turn down lovers on the basis of there looks or what they have. As in the story the girl deceived the boy's love who gave his eye to the girl, knowing that he may never be able to see again and that too only to stay with her most loved mate for ever. But then this is what happens to him. It very difficult to find true lovers today. I don't know who has one. But really if you are getting loved consider yourself blessed and if you are loving someone consider yourself gifted. Love is the most rarest jewel today, save it and don't loose it or throw it away. Its the only thing, the rate of which increases many folds over years and what it pays back can never be bought with any kind of richess. Take Care May GOD Bless YOU

I am not quite sure what to make of this story as there are certainly several messages here..... There are most certainly many material people on this earth that are influenced by things that really do not mean anything at all; just look at some of the unbelievably arrogant and unattractive rich people out there that have "super models" hanging off their arms! This story (or parable/fable or whatever you wish to call it) is sad on so many levels :( I hope it makes those who read it think.

Hi cherriemae, hope all is well. The story was very sweet until the girl could see and said she wouldn't marry her boyfriend because he was blind, and in fact he gave her his eyes. I could never imagine changing like that just because my status has changed somehow! Sadly though most people are like that!

Hi Cherriemae! That was a wonderful discussion there and I think the message this discussion is passing to people out there who understand it verywell. That is just how humans are. When they get what they want, they tend to get away from their promise. Thanks and have a nice day.
