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 will 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 her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

As life would have it, people come together and they fall in love. Obviously they fall in love with the other person and accept them for who they are and so on, but they also occasionally, fall in love with the subconscious desires that that individual fulfills.

They will surely add value to each others’ lives in one way or another, but you’re probably thinking that of course they add value otherwise they wouldn’t be in love.

But surely you should still love someone even when they become a burden on you? Love is not a matter of convenience.

So many people ask: “Where have all the good guys gone?”

Well apparently a great man, a nice guy and good friend of mine is celebrating his birthday on Thursday, so to honour this day I would like to introduce you to a good guy.

Thirty (30) years of his presence on earth has graced us with some truly magnificent moments of sharing, caring and all round loving.

He is fit, he is fast, he is spiritual and most of all he loves life in all its abundance.  I look up to him for many reasons. Talented, wise and fun loving are but a few.

His name is Raoul de Jongh.
