Fight for Life..

“Mercy killing is defined as the killing of one person by another. The victim of mercy killing is normally in the vegetable state or has an injury or illness that cannot be cured, as it is usually in its last stage. The victim experiences immensely painful last days just before his or her death. For a voluntary case of mercy killing to take place, the killer must first obtain the consent of the victim, but there have been recorded cases of mercy killing against the wishes of the victim as well.

This is known as involuntary mercy killing. Mercy killing is known as euthanasia. The victim of a mercy killing dies a painless death after suffering an incurable ailment or serious injury. The term euthanasia, which means mercy killing, is derived from the Greek word for 'good death'. Euthanasia has been legalised in some Western countries but is still considered to be an unethical practice in the Third World.”

My auntie, the youngest sister of my father was diagnosed of stage three breast cancer last 2010. She’s been fighting for almost two years now, undergoing some treatments and medications but unfortunately I think it has come to an end.

It’s hard for us as her family to just watch her in her every single day struggle to fight for her life. In her condition right now, we can’t do anything to take away the pain she is suffering, even the doctors can’t do anything but to give her some pain reliever, but most of the time, even those pain relievers are not enough.

The end is near. Anytime from now she’ll be gone from us. Every day, her time is ticking to its end. Nobody knows until when, that’s what the doctors said to us. All we need is a MIRACLE, a great miracle from GOD. Although, we already knew the truth about her life status, I am still afraid for that time to come. Until now, I still can’t believe that these things are really happening to my beloved auntie. She doesn’t deserve to suffer like that.

One of her siblings wants to have her euthanasia, just to end those painful days of her. We all can’t stand to witness her suffering from that, and yet we want her to keep on fighting and hope that she’ll be able to recover from that illness. Even me, I can’t let her undergo that so-called euthanasia.  I don’t want her to let go of that little hope she’s been holding on all this time that maybe GOD would see her fighting and still believing that maybe she could still live more years with us. If she still wants to fight for her life despite of all the pain she’s experiencing, who are we to decide to stop her FIGHT? Everything happens for a reason. If this is really her time to go, if this is really GOD wants to happen, then be it. Maybe we might as well wait for whatever GOD plans to happen for her life.

The only thing we want now, if that’s really the case.. Please GOD have mercy on her. Please take away all the pain she’s suffering. Please bless her soul. Please take away all the anger, hatred or whatever negative emotions she might have holding on right now, instead replace it with acceptance, love and peace in her heart.

lessons learned..

- not all we want is worth the risk - sometimes, we need to push ourselves too much to realize our limits - never let someone hurt you twice, if he had done it once, it's bound to happen again.. Once is enough to learn.. - giving someone a second chance is exposing yourself to be hurt again because no matter what he do to you you'll just accept him over and over again.. - it's not wrong to love yourself more - there's no such thing as give and take in a relationship, it's more on give, give and give..until your heart voluntarily quits. - it's true that a bastard is always a bastard! - reality is, it's not always like a fairytale. sometimes, it's just an illusion created for you to believe that there is a happy ending. - don't refuse to see the signs when it's already showing you that everything is going on the wrong direction - and most of all, somebody may leave you but true friends never will..

Random Thoughts

In general, society expects you to act in a way what is acceptable to most of the people. No matter how hard you try to ignore the noise around you, sometimes it tends to find its way to affect how you think, you decide, you believe, and your overall values.  It's been a long time, it's like I'm fighting a battle of my own. I'm trying to fight between trying to stick with what's making me happy or just live a life where it's less complicated.  I'm in a phase where I'm trying to figure out what's best to do with my life. I really believe that I should not be living my life for the sake of other people. But, what if it means fighting for the rest of your life? All these dilemma that's running in my head for a while now leads me to think or do things I think is not right.  Recently, I've made a terrible mistake just because once again I'm on a battle of my own, that doing so this is more acceptable than what I am on. Because traditionally, i...

a friend ...

They say that misunderstandings between you and your friends strengthen the friendship. This way, you’ll both realize your mistakes and differences, and will understand each other much better than before. When we experience misunderstandings or quarrel among our friends, we think that it’s just right that the person who made the mistake should be the one who’ll apologize and make a move to reunite the friendship. That’s how we think. Pride hinders us to apologize to someone we had hurt. Sometimes we want to apologize but we don’t know how to approach them and we’re too afraid that they might just ignore us. What we don’t know is if someone really values you as a friend, we don’t know need any explanation and even a single a word is useless. Just a simple smile and hug from a friend is enough to ease all the anger and restore the friendship. This is what I learned from these past few days. Yes, it is true that the one who made the mistake should be the one who’ll apologize, but sometime...
