A man married a beautiful girl.  He loved her very much.  One day she

developed a skin disease.  Slowly she started to lose her beauty.  It

so happened that one day her husband left for a tour.  While returning

he met with an accident and lost his eyesight.  However, their married

life continued as usual.  But as days passed she lost her beauty

gradually. Blind husband did not know this and there was not any

difference in their married life.  He continued to love her and she

also loved him very much.  One day she died.  Her death brought him a

great sorrow.  He finished all her last rites and wanted to leave that

town.

A man from behind called and said, “Now how will you be able to walk

all alone?  All these days your wife used to help you”.  He replied, “I

am not blind.  I was acting because if she knew l could see her skin

condition due to a disease, it would have pained her more than her

disease.  I didn’t love her for her beauty alone, but I fell in love

with her caring and loving nature.  So I pretended to be blind.  I only

wanted to keep her happy”.

  "When you truly love someone, you will go to any extent to keep your

loved one happy and sometimes it is good for us to act blind and ignore

one another short comings in order to be happy.  The Beauty will fade

with time, but heart and soul will always be the same. Love the person

for what he/she is from inside, not from outside."
