Perspective

Have you ever thought about why we see the world differently than other people, even those closest to you?

How we see life is determined by each individual person. Our perspective is derived partly from a biological standpoint and partly from social experiences. From time to time, cataclysmic events have a dramatic effect on our view of life.

There is a story of 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.”

To which of these young people should we feel pity? Why? Leave a comment, I want to hear your perspective.
