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 gave her 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 you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
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.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

I read the story few year ago, it good to be reminded of it again.
Note: in 2007
The GNP for the US was $45,793 and the world was $8,125. The World GNP is below the U.S. poverty line.
What do we as American really got to complaint about.

When it is all said and done... we really don't have any legitimate complaints when you consider our overall standard of living with the rest of the world.
As a young man... I traveled to a couple of under-developed countries and was shocked to see how the majority of the people lived. US citizens who make minimum wage would be considered wealthy in many other countries in the world.
We are definitely a priviliged nation and have probably come to expect more than we deserve.
However, high expectations can sometimes be a good thing.
hi am newbie...i really like what you posted..all you have written their is true...sometimes we commit mistake and we kept on repeating it over and over knowing it is bad but simple answer why we keep on repeating it because were just human beings and were not perfect, only god is the perfect one...all we have to do is to ask forgiveness to god and to the persons we get hurt by our harsh actions.

True, life is a gift. We have lots of reasons to thank God. We just don't know how to appreciate what we have. We're focus on big blessings, and neglect the little ones. Always count your blessings and these give us the reason to stay happy and contented.
