During my short break to Kerala few weeks back, I had a chance to visit the RCC (Regional Cancer Centre). Throughout my presence there, I witnessed a number of patients, ranging from old aged people to little children, as small as 2-3 years old… due to the treatment, their heads without hair, little children being carried by their parents, with their nose/mouth covered with a surgical mask… the scene was very upsetting… at that moment I tried to empathize & think from the parents’ perspective; how would they be feeling to see their child go through the ordeal, as a result of the treatment? It was indeed a depressing sight…
It made me to comprehend on the pace at which we are in a hurry to make money, build luxurious homes for ourselves, busy constructing our careers, seeking fame etc, when in reality these things are insignificant…what would you do with all the money, fame, prosperity you had, if you didn’t have the strength & health to enjoy it? Feelings of resentment, anger, hatred, jealousy etc doesn’t make sense…it is just not worth it, my friends...
May the lord grant each one of us perfect healthiness & bless us to greater loftiness all the days of our lives…
