RE: Freedom To Choose Life Or Death
I am not here to discuss @tryskele, I just miss your post a lot. I don't know about brittany maynard story, but I think that she's doing the best for her and her family.
There are so many people out there decided to stay alive but living death, not because they're terminally ill.. but because they don't know what to do. But I appreciated you and your fight, brian, lynn and wolfhart too. I learned more than enough in short time about being grateful and live the life with dignity.
I lost 2 nieces last month because of brain's cancer and unidentified illness (they're only 15 and 30 yo) and couldn't agree more with you "we live to die", it just a matter of time for me too. We all have our own fight but showing our sympathy and empathy to others, not a hard thing to do.
@cicisaja I don't think you 'can't not' discuss things LOL. It's your nature and I love that about you. It was a big story here in the US. People would picket her house or the hospital she was at when things were that bad, simply because she wanted to live 'end' her life on her terms.
I have learned so much about life from the 3 of them in such a short time. They have been a saving grace. For many people, empathy and sympathy are very hard to express. People have become so self-absorbed that to show compassion or empathy is something they can't understand.
😊 you really knew me so well @tryskele 😉 yes, in my country different things happened, someone was growing cannabis in his home to cure her wife, but then police arrested him and while he spent his time in jail for investigation, his wife was dead, but people reaction is amazing, nation wide coverage... they support him and finally even he's fired from his work as civil servant, lost his beloved wife but at least he's released and got some paid off, from government and community to start a new life.
Sometimes, people take an extreme action to avoid other's judgement by commiting suicide and still.. even if we read and watch many news about it, none take action in community about it, that's not the right way to do for a muslim community.
I think nobody in certain circumstances asked for a sympathy and empathy for their own sake's and pride, but still.. people can be so harsh because they're not the victims.
