Seeing Truth
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 would 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 him and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. She refused to marry him because she couldn't stand the thought of looking at them the rest of her life. Her boyfriend left 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."

Truth and Love
We cannot avoid
Using power,
Cannot escape the compulsion
To afflict the world,
So let us, cautious in diction
And mighty in contradiction,
Love powerfully.
- Martin Buber
