That was a terribley sappy and fake story,

ignoring the science of "eye transplants" especially in a region with no health care where they live "in shacks", it was ridiculously over dramatic.

How do you manage to read hatred between those lines Zarch?
I'm surprised you have to ask that. He didn't want his mother coming to his school because her appearance was an embarrassment, he threw her out of his home in Singapore because of her appearance, he rejected her at every opportunity. He despised her just for the way she looked.

And if that story isn't 100% fake I'll eat my shorts and yours too. Eye transplants don't happen as far as I know. Corneas yes, but whole eyes? Nope. Nerves don't regenerate, there's no known way to connect the optic nerve to the back of the eye and make it work. That story's maudlin syrupy BS.

Sweet, sappy, impossible - and right full of egotistical pride. Hate? Is that what it takes to make one embarassed to be associated with a parent? Man ... am I ever lucky....

Hey Dexter Sinister, I think you are picking this video apart unfairly, I personally think that the author of this video did a great job bringing the two together, hate and love, getting all medical about it, is not allowing the author to get his point across, and that point is in this instance, hate lost and love won the day. OK? Sorry pal......:smile:

Is guilting your child once it's too late for them to do anything to make up for being an ass, 'love'? I sure don't think so. Seems to me being upfront and honest and standing up for yourself, demanding the love and respect, demanding the good relationship that your child and you deserve, is more unconditional and loving than this ridiculous notion of waiting until you're on your death bed to tell him that he was cruel for no reason all his life.

Yup, I agree, the story is silly and irritating. What a 'wus' of a mother, and a 'ass' of a
son, overkill on both of them, give us a break.

Don't think so. Mother lets her child despise her all his life and doesn't tell him the truth of the situation until it's too late for him to do anything about it. Passive aggressiveness and guilt won the day, but I think the tale is a complete fiction anyway (because nobody transplants whole eyes, that kind of technology is probably at least a century away), invented by somebody clumsily trying to make a point about unconditional love and completely misunderstanding it. The kid's a boor and mother's a fool, and so's whoever invented that tale.

Dexter good pal, you have the right to your opinion, but the main point here has nothing to do with fraud, it has to do with hate vs. a mothers unconditional love!


If the love was unconditional she wouldn't tell the son what happened to her eye, telling him does nothing but make his life worse through her dying spite.

Maybe thats the story, undying spite and contempt wins the day.

No son would act like that for more than about two weeks at age 13. A mothers love would be conditional because she would tell him to go to hell if he acted like that for too long.

tallola, no pan intended I think that shows we in the west think much more practical rather than emotional like this lady did in some place in Asia, I have to agree with the thought that honesty is the foundation of a strong relationship.
