Eehm, well
1. This has been posted before by the Baclk Prince
2. If she needed to get her eyes in order to discover her boy friend was blind too she must've been extremely dim witted indeed and probably not in a state to date anyone at all and
3. What a manipulative b*stard the boy friend was, making a sacrifice seemingly but really giving up his eyes to get a girl, that's kind of sick, if he couldn't get her to marry him on his own merits the guy must've been quite a loser.
The point that we don't rmember the world as it used to be before some big change may well be valid however but this supposedly touching allegory is a bunch of pigeon dropppings.
Sorry, but I totally disagree with post 2. He wasn't blind. He sacrificed his sight for her, and no one would do that purely to get someone. He did it out of love. If that was the case, he would've sought revenge or hated her. I think this was an incredibly beautiful and thought-prevoking post. I'm gonna send it to a few people. I wonder how I'd act if I could see and I wonder if I'd feel the same way about things as I do now?
Wow. What a sorry creature the girl in this story is, and what a fool her boyfriend.
I too disagree with post two. My husband and I have been married for almost eight years, and he has said he'd give up his own site if it would allow me to see even for a day. He does so much just to describe things around me...But he tells me that words just don't cut it. You can describe it all you want, but the words just don't do justice to what the eye is telling him; hope that makes since. I too like this one and am going to forward it to a few people. It's sad, and if this were ever a true case I'd say that she was the crewelest, coldest b**ch in the world. I had a cornia transplant when I was fifteen. The cornia was donated by the parents of a 2 year old girl who lost her life, and I did my best to help everything turn out right...But it didn't. Sorry, kinda off the subject, but this is what this story reminded me of. Anyways, my point; or at least the point I wanted to make is this, when you love unconditionally and completely you are willing to give your life for the one(s) you love, and sometimes even more; like your site, hearing, etc...This story simply shows how one sided that kind of love would be.
Oops, and an add-on, I don't think it had anything to do with her change in status, but instead I think it would be simply this. If you can't love yourself, how can you love anyone? The girl in this story loved no one, and therefore when her status changed the dependence was simply gone and she walked as so many users will and do every day.
That was such a sweet thing that guy did. It really proves he luvs her. I don't get y she refused to marry him because of his blindness, seeing as how she was once blind herself. Dooesn't the minister say in the wedding, "For better or for worse?" This might be worse but could be better with a more positive outlook. I'm sort of scared of this same thing, too, if I ever have sight and do that first look around the operating room, I might question people's looks but would remember that I used to not care about that. . Anyway, he didn't have to do this. He did it out of luv for her.
I love your last post cattleya! It's so true. I tell people this all the time. If you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else. My mother was a very successful businesswoman. She had everything. But she also lived before she adopted me. When she did, she gave it all up to take care of me because she wanted no one else to do so. She hasn't really worked in 20 years, aside from a little bus aid job for awhile, though she's now looking for work. Thankfully, she has a loving partner who takes care of us. But the point is, she was able to sacrifice all of that not only because she lived life to the fullest, but because she loved herself and me. She too says she'd give up her sight for me to see. She'd do anything for me to see I think. I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful mom.
Lol, WB's post made me laugh, and I agree completely with post 4.
Alot of people do not know what it is to sacrifice. Accordingly they can never appreciate the sacrifice of others. People like things the easy way. Self correction, intorspection and many similar things are just not cool. It's a really nice post and reminded me of a friend I had who's father lost the sight he had. Guess what happened? My friend's Mother divorced his Father and things really went from bad to irreversable. But, my friend said; his father was never happier. At least he knew now that the wife he got married to afterword actually loved him, with his blindness; with his imperfections.
I wish that for everybody; I wish that you really care about the person you are holding; that you mean what you say and say what you mean. And if it's not the case; try it out some day. It does wonders.
I'm out.
Why does everyone keep on saying "if you can't love yourself you can't love anyone" .. I don't get it and I don't agree with it. You could love your children and your family but hate yourself, heck, you could do vice versa.
And, before you sacrifice your life, your being etc, well, you do need to think if it will make the person you are sacrificing it all for better off, better off enough to make up for your sacrifice, nothing romantic about sacrificing yourself for no reason is there.
That being said, I agree with sir Giggle, if you tell someone you love them, mean it, enjoy it, enjoy them and don't forget what they mean to you in the everyday humdrum. That's positive message, you don't need to dress it up in some whiny type of Hallmark story. Just as another angle on it, may be the husband used the wife's blindness to make her dependent on him so she was afraid to leave, may be he was even abusive, but once she got her sight she was free from the situation. Like the Zone Reality channel (nothing to do with this web site) says "there are infinite perceptions of reality", in this case, "of situations".

Agreed, mr wb.
