Wow!! Welcome back buddy.

When someone becomes ill he/she often asks "Why has this happened to me?" or "Have I done anything to deserve this?"

Exactly... in this part of the world, it is not uncommon for people to attach superstition to happenings (even something like illnesses) - they tend to believe that ill-health has spiritual undertone.. but they sometimes forget that there could be many causation to this particular phenomenon.

You did an expository piece buddy.
