We've all heard it "Rape Knows No Boundaries"
IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.. AND THAT TIME IS NOW
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, 'II f I could only seethe 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, includingher 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'texpected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life ledher to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left her in tears and days laterwrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, forbefore they were yours, they were mine.' This is how the human brain often works when ourstatus changes.
Only a very few remember what life was likebefore, 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 desir es children butthey're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someonedidn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in thestreets.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distancewith their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about yourjob - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and thosewho wish they had your j ob.
But before you think of lifting a finger or condemning another -Remember that not we all make mistakes, we all have bad days and good days all on different days, but most importantly we all have the ability to LET IT GO..
