the blind man

Machine translation.

Hello,

One day, a non-psychic was sitting on the steps of a building with a hat at his feet and a piece of cardboard bearing the inscription: “I am blind, please help me.”

A passing advertiser stopped and noticed that there were only a few cents in his hat. He bent down and dropped his coins into the hat; then, without asking the man's permission, he took the cardboard sign, turned it over, and wrote something on it.

That same afternoon, the advertising man came back near the blind man and saw that the hat was full of coins and bills. The blind man recognized the man's footsteps and asked him whether he was the one who had written something on his sign and what he had written.

The advertiser replied: “Nothing that isn’t true: I just rewrote your sentence in a different way.”

He smiled and left.

The non-psychic never knew that on his card it was written: “Today is spring, and I cannot see it.”

Change your strategy when things aren’t going well, and you’ll see that things will get better.

If you wish, send this text to everyone you believe deserves to see spring, even if it is sometimes difficult, and to everyone you would like to see smiling ceaselessly, because thanks to their smile, they make the world a little better.

As a complement to the text above

We are all blind
Led by the blind,
Who guides the blind…
Until the day when, like the truly blind,
We realize in wonder
That one can go alone, guided by one's inner light,
And that masters and teachings are merely reference points,
Like the noises from the outside world.
Don't believe what I tell you,
Don't dismiss what I'm telling you.
What will remain is your truth.

Buddha
