Her suffering made me question my preference
for the life I want to have in the future. It made me question how I perceive
fun. How could I have fun when there is the truth that younger souls who
deserve more of what I have are suffering from a pain they never wanted to have
in the first place? Is Journeying James right when he said that travelers can
change the world? I find it ridiculous after watching the movie. How could
someone really change the world when all he does is to give his time only for
his own benefit? I don’t see it helping any kid with cancer or even lessening
the pain of those who lost a loved one. Forgive me. I have belief in it once
but then I think it is not touching more lives.
I salute all who are enduring the pain even
if it is beyond the meter scale. A simple bruise hurts, how much more of an
internal pain that can’t simply disappear just by applying any medical
approach. You are not alone.
I salute the people in the medical field who
have sacrificed their lives and their time in furthering their studies to cure different
diseases that were once thought as incurable. I salute your sacrifice in
dedicating your life trying to lessen the burdens of your patients as well as
their family. I salute your strength in staying joyful for the sake of your
patients. You are not alone.
I salute the parents who have poured their
time, those who go beyond the steps needed to cure their child, those who are
willing to give up whatever they have so that their child could live, those who
appreciate the kindness of others as well as the pain that others are going
through, those who lost their faith but have it back just in time when it is
severely needed, those who stay strong even if things are falling apart, … you
are not alone.
As I am writing this,
someone somewhere is already dying because of cancer. I am right here with the
comforts of a home while others are dying from a pain they didn’t have just
because of unhealthy habits. Someone just died in Syria, never to see the peace
he always wanted. A lot is happening around us and we don’t even know why did
it come just right where we are.
I am rereading this, ukis ang bitter ko. This
is what anger makes me of: galit at nandadamay. Sorry sir James.
Pero, may katotohanan sa “travelers can
change the world”. Ayokong patagalin na naman to kaya tsaka ko na sasabihin
kung bakit.
Eto lang gusto ko sabihin sa inyo: You are
not alone po.
