Hate is such a strong word not usual for my vocabulary but I Hate Cancer!!!!. This post is not going to be a pleasant one and it may be a bit of a rant .
Cancer, beware of its evil ways as you go about your life complaining about the mundane and trivial events , cancer is lurking around you . It will not grab hold of you at first its other people in your life a friend of a friend , a co-workers aunt , an uncle twice removed . You hear different stories everyday on the news ect. but your life its not touching ? but just just wait for it it will happen , it will come in on you on top of your life no warning (or very little) and like a great big ugly explosion it will pounce .
I hate cancer because of many reasons . It has no mercy and no age limit , cancer will strike anyone at anytime . It has shorten the life of too many people . The treatments have come along way but are still barbaric.... Slash , poison and burn . I hate cancer for all the suffering from the person with the disease and the people who love them and care for them . I just Hate it!!!!
Now that I got that out of my system I need to say Cancer can have positive effects on our life .
It can make us realise our mortality and bring us closer to what is really important in life , Sometimes we can get lost in our busy lives. Really most of us take for granted how important it is to go out of your way for someone important in your life . I mean we say to ourselves " I don't feel like going there for a visit " but in reality YOU should . If anything that's good that comes out of death and illness its you appreciate the time you have left in your life . As we all know we are not on this earth forever.What I am trying to say is make more time for people, go to that dinner party , walk in the park or visit a sick person in the hospital or seniors building . Make your time count here , push your love ones to get regular checkups as early detection is life or death .
Good for you my friend for finding the positive in all of this. You keep those of us considered healthy in a better frame of mind on your behalf, this blog is a blessing and a healing tool for not only yourself but for those you are reaching out too and those of us who want to be there and reach out to you as well. This is where the saying goes there's a fine line between love and hate, there are many cancers in life that cross our paths, some are toxic people we know, some are actual illnesses, but all are teachers along the way of all lifes journey's and those that are going through the worst of it are often the one's who teach us the most. I have learned so much already from you my friend, you're the strongest bravest person I know. I am so glad you're a part of my lifes'journey and only hope to be as strong for you as you are for me.
