Fritz The Cat Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 [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]
The Collector Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 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.
Snuggle Tiger Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 "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...
Angel1111 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 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.

o0oscar0o Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 omg that was like one of god awful pathetic emails or facebook msgs that gets passed around way too often.
kyleargyle Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I think he should at least ask for his eyes back.
Final Girl Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 How manipulative was that story?? I HATE those kind of stories..they always seem to be in chain e-mails!!
Shygirl15 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 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!"
