A young couple was much in love and planning to marry. The bride suffered an accident a few months before the wedding and was left with a completely damaged face… “I can’t marry you,” she wrote to her boyfriend in a letter.
“I’ve been marked and terribly ugly for the rest of my life; find another lovely young woman who deserves you, since I’m not worthy of you.”
“I am the true worthless one, I have to tell you that I became visually unwell and the doctor informed me that I would go blind…” the girl received from her partner a few days later. I still want to marry you if you are prepared to accept me.”
They married, and the groom revealed that he was entirely blind at the time.
She was her guide, she became her eyes, her light, and her love lead them through that tunnel of darkness for 20 years of love, happiness, and understanding. He became critically ill one day and complained near the end that he would be left alone in the darkness.
He opened his eyes to everyone’s bewilderment on the day he died. He stated, “I wasn’t blind.”, and now she has taken my love away from me.”
Moral:
Because true love is lived with the heart, it transcends outward beauty.
We live in a world of appearances, where individuals are judged based on how they seem, but true love is more beautiful than the most costly cosmetic treatment.
True love lasts a lifetime, but beauty fades.
