Before they were yours, they were mine.

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.’

In this world, people tends to think about themselves and they start to become selfish. They only work hard for what benefit to them, they are too self concentration. They always forget who helps them when they’re failed, they refuse to help those people when they faced problem.

I read about this similar story many times. I still found it can awake those who always forget the initial of their heart, the origin of everything. There is a similar story to this by Korean MTV. Maybe you’d like to see it… enjoys it.

    the vid is a different storyline. in the vid, the boy chose to leave the girl; even though the girl wanted to be with him. it’s like the opposite of what you wrote.

    YL,
    Hi…

    I means the story is similar, the boy gave her a change to see, and then he don’t wish to be burden to her…

    when people gets better in condition, they tends to chase after better things. this is how human acts and their deep down nature. sympathize to the man but i’ll not choose to condemn the girl.

    Kaiba,
    Yes, you’re right… We shouldn’t condemn the girl, as the boy in the story also didn’t…

    All we can says is “What can we do?”

    why don’t the guy donate one eye and keep another one for himself, isn’t that more logic in the sense to benefit both of them?
