Is this a world of selfish people? a true story?

Question

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear." Aw, how sad. This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only a few remember what life was before. Pass it on, if u think it makes sense.!!!

Answer 1

First thanks for that great story. certainly the world has so many selfish people who do not appreciate the pain of others who may have helped them to succeed one day .

Answer 2

Wow. That was a cool story and I doubt it's true. Regardless, it doesn't mean the world itself is rotten, just the people inhabiting it. If people could just a little more giving and such then maybe if wouldn't seem like our world is cold and cruel. But, that's just the way mankind behaves, you know? It's just their greed and desires that push them to act selfish. In response to your question, yes the world is filled with selfish people, controled by their greed by some extent, some more than others.

Answer 3

I think what doesn't make sense is to call the "world" full "of selfish" or any other one kind or people or other.
This place we call the world is quite well-known to be full of a large variety of people, customs, cruelties and kindnesses, adventurers and homebodies, the rich and poor and those in between, many religions, many in spiritual disciplines or freedoms, those who are free and those who are not, those at war and those at peace... the list goes on and on.

I don't understand how this old chestnut of a story can make you think the world is full of selfish people, because even though there certainly are such people, we can't judge the whole world as being full of them. So relax yourself, get off the judgement seat, and hang out with the rest of us 'just folks,' many of whom have heard this story or a version of it for years. There... isn't that much better now? Welcome back!

Answer 4

The story is charming but undoubtedly not true.

However, your remark about how the human brain changes when the status changes can go the other way too.

People can become more selfish or more selfless. It is a matter of will and nothing more.

Answer 5

what reference do you present that will support your claim that this is a true story?
I am sure that this emotional context does not have the full story.
Sure people are selfish at times and odd things do happen, but the chances of a random boyfriend having similar enough genetics that would allow an ocular transplant? even if the eye nerves could be reconnected, I have not seen a case of successful ocular transplant, and the surgery would be incredibly complex. It would have made world news. can you find this proof?

Answer 6

if the green bastard's answer is not voted the best, there is no justice in this world.

how could the boyfriend walk away in tears if he had no eyes? presumably they took the tear ducts with the eyes. maybe they didn't though. the thought of hollow eye sockets leaking greatly disturbs me.

this question is seriously frightening.

Answer 7

I doubt it's a true story. But I agree the world is full of selfish people.

Answer 8

good creative story, the kind you can teach in school curriculum, but dosent makes no practical sense, even if the girl is blind she will know her bf was blond too, there is no way he could havbe hide it from her .

Answer 9

It is true. That man was OJ Simpson
