There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she
16 everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was
17 there for her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could only see the
18 , I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of
19 to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything,
20 her boyfriend for the first time. He asked her, “
21 you can see the world, will you
22 me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was
23 . The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t
24 that. The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life led her to
25 to marry him.
Her boyfriend left
26 and a few days later wrote a note to her,
27 : “Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for
28 they are yours, they were mine.”
This is how the human brain often
29 when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few remember what
30 was like before. Life is a gift. Today before you say a(n)
31 word, think of someone who can’t speak. Before you complain about the
32 of your food, think of someone who has
33 to eat. Before you complain about life, think of someone who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are
34 in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the 35 . So enjoy what you have and don’t forget your past.
