[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][sIZE=2]There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She

 

hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always

 

there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see

 

the world, I will marry you.'

 

 

 

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages

 

came off, she was able to see everything, including her

 

boyfriend.

 

 

 

He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The

 

girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The

 

sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected

 

that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life

 

led her to refuse to marry him.

 

 

 

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her

 

saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before

 

they were yours, they were mine.'

 

 

 

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.

 

Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who

 

was always by their side in the most painful situations.

 

 

 

Life Is a Gift

 

 

 

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't

 

speak.

 

 

 

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone

 

who has nothing to eat.

 

 

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone

 

who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

 

 

 

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went

 

too early to heaven.

 

 

Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who

 

walks the same distance with their feet.

 

 

 

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the

 

unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your

 

job.

 

 

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on

 

your face and think: you're alive and still

 

around. [/sIZE][/FONT]

To be fair, he should have told her he was blind too. That's like some weird, controlling, insecurity thing - and then he gave her his eyeballs? Euw.

"IC!" said the blind man, as he wired up a 741... :)

 

Get it? 741? IC? As in 741 operational amplifier, an integrated circuit?

 

You know, an IC?

 

Well, you might think that was lame, but it was funny in my high school electronics class back in 1976.

 

OK, how about this one?

 

"IC!" said the blind man, as he wired up an NE555...

 

Oh come on, the NE555 is a timer chip dating back to the early 70's! Over a billion 555's are sold every year, how can you not know about the 555? Bunch of technological savages here on LS, I swear...

Maybe he should've given her just one eye. Then they would've been even. :)

 

Hey, I'm all for positive thinking and appreciating the things you have but some people have legitimate complaints about their spouses, they have awful jobs, etc. But to keep your standards low just because other people don't have the same opportunities as you doesn't do anyone else any good.

 

My xh used to use this kind of logic when he was trying to get me to stay with him - he didn't cheat, he wasn't a psycho, he didn't hit me, etc. That still didn't change the huge differences between us and how he made me want to shoot myself. I would love to have a spouse but I don't envy anyone who has a spouse that they can't stand to be around. Been there, done that. It's so not worth it. So while it's great to appreciate what you have, it's also wise to recognize that it still doesn't work for you.

This is how I used to hear that one: "I see!" said the blind man to his deaf son.

 

So silly. :laugh:

Fritz, that post is incomplete. It's supposed to end with something like "share this to 15 people or you'll lose the most precious thing in your life!"
