Listening to the
podcast The Rhetoric of Cancer was
very moving for me. As much as I try to sympathize with the speakers, I know
that I will never truly understand their pain and suffering, unless I
experience it myself. This though alone, is very frightening.
Cancer has
already claimed the lives of millions of people, and sadly, there may be more
to come. Currently, it is almost impossible to cure, even with the best
technologies that we have. It is with this fact that I find myself wondering,
what if one day, I was diagnosed with cancer? What will I do? Will I still be
able to live my life normally? How will I be able to accept it? As of the
moment, I cannot answer this questions.
Facing cancer is
truly a difficult battle. Prepared or not, it may occur to anyone at any time.
That is why I am really amazed of those people who are facing this fight.
Amidst all the pain and suffering, they do not give up on life. They are the
ones with the strongest will, and the strongest spirit.
We are already
in the age where our economy and science has progressed enough to be able to
increase support for researching a cure for cancer. Sadly, out nature as humans
seem to push us into giving more attention to trivial things. If we are to
achieve a true victory in this battle with cancer, this attitude must change
right now.
