The one who couldnt see and the one who couldnt tell the truth

Posted: Nov 5, 2007 Mon 06:49 pm     Views: 267    Interacts: 1

A man was blinded in war. He was told he may never see again. In hospital he was severely depressed. The guy in the bed next to him kept regaling him with stories of what he could see outside the hospital windows...carnivals ...autumn leaves ...beautiful women ....etc

Eventually our blind man started looking forward to waking up every morning just so he could "see " the world thru his friends eyes.

Then one day his friend died. His bandages came off the next week and for the first time in months he could see ....he looked around at the hosptial room like a newborn kitten appreciating colours ...textures etc then suddenly he noticed that the room had no windows.

Chachoo when you keep saying "power to the pakistani people thru democracy" you remind me of this story. As well intentioned as you are, you happen to be a liar.

A blind man is one who has eyes but no vision. :)
