A man married a very beautiful girl. After marriage, both of them lived a very loving life. He loved her very much and always praised her beauty. But after a few months, the girl got afflicted with a skin disease and slowly her beauty started fading away. Seeing herself like this, she started fearing that if she became ugly, her husband would start hating her and she would not be able to tolerate his hatred.
Meanwhile, one day the husband had to go out of town for some work. While returning home after finishing his work, he met with an accident. He lost both his eyes in the accident. But despite this, the life of both of them continued as usual. Time passed and due to her skin disease, the girl lost her beauty completely. She became ugly, but the blind husband did not know anything about this. Therefore, it did not affect their happy married life.
He continued to love her in the same way. One day the girl died. The husband was now alone. He was very sad. He wanted to leave that city.
He completed all the funeral rituals and started leaving the city. Just then a man called him from behind and came near and said, “How will you be able to walk alone without support now? Your wife used to help you all these years.” The husband replied, “Friend! I am not blind. I was just pretending to be blind. Because if my wife came to know that I can see her ugliness, it would have hurt her more than her disease.
That's why I pretended to be blind for so many years. She was a very good wife. I just wanted to keep her happy." ...
Lesson: To be happy, we should turn a blind eye to each other's shortcomings and ignore them.
