Review: What Would You Do

"what would you DO?

what would you do if you can't do anything but just lie there?

what would you do when it all gets so cold out there that you felt nothing?

what would you do when you find that there's no one but yourself who care about you?

If you lying there, would you be thinking about your nearly impossible future? or the past? would you do anything, anything at all to change your present situation? or just lie there silently, not wanting to draw too much attention and clearly wanted to be forgotten?

If the world out there became so cold and selfish, would you be one of them? or shutting away all of that and be a lone warrior? fighting against the main stream?

If you find that you are alone in this world, so lonely that your presence seems to be a thread away from turning into vapour, what would you do to change that? would you recall the warmth you used to feel, and show your gratitude for that? or just held the hatred towards this world for not to understand and accept you?

If you lost the mobility, you should not give up cause you are still alive. you can think, you can talk. you can stand up straight again, believe it. while there's life, there's hope.

When the world out there gets so cold, stay strong and hold on, for there might be other warriors struggling too.

when you think that the whole world walks out and turns back on you, you are wrong. you are the one who shut them away, not vice versa. it's how you see things that makes the difference."

maybe the road stretch ahead seems clouded,
and there may seem never ending as the lonesome follows,
you are not alone...
with your family by your side,
u gotta have a strong believe that you will be fine,
as strength keeps one alive..."

A touching reply from a reader on "What Would You Do"

i wrote the above blog entry last year~~~

after a few days, i received a message from a worrying parent, Mr. A. His son is suffering from cancer and the disease is getting worse, killing him day by day~
he wrote:

"I was very touched and moved by your Feb 22, 2008 Tale. My own son is "warrior struggling", trying to stay strong. Thank you for your words. This is a picture of my son, Mike, last November."

I will of coz keep his name anonymous and his son's picture away from publishing.
but i offer full sympathy to him when i replied to him.

on the following day, i received a longer message from Mr.A.

"Miss Wen Qian Cherish,
I wrote to you yesterday about your Tale and my son. My son, M, is 20 years old. Two years ago he was found to have a cancer tumor in his spinal cord in the neck area. The cancer is called glioblastoma multiforme. The out look is not good. A little over a year ago, M was paralysed from the waist down, by a problem with one of his medicines. Through all of this he tries to be strong and positive -- always joking and laughing about things. But it gets difficult. I think one of the hardest things for him is the lonliness. Many people his age do not know what to say to him, so they just stay away. M really does not want anything different from anyone else and he craves normal convesation.
Right now M is inthe hospital. he has been there three weeks. Two days ago he looked very healthy. I thought he would be sent home. But then he started getting ill again. It is hard. Still, we are alive and there is hope. I told him he is a "warrior struggling." he liked that very much. I am going to print out your Tale so he can read it.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I wish you much success. This world needs brave people with good heart. I believe you are one.
Sincerely,
Mr. A"

Reading this letter, i was speechless. Really, because i know if i was the friend of his son, i won't know what to say either. words will fail me~ what to say when you don't really understand his pain? i can do nothing more than showing my condolences and sympathy.

so, i wrote a short post dedicate to his son, M.

" This post is dedicated to Mr. A's son.

maybe the road stretch ahead seems clouded,
and there may seem never ending as the lonesome follows,
you are not alone...
with your family by your side,
u gotta have a strong believe that you will be fine,
as strength keeps one alive..."

God Bless.

点亮他人的生命。。。一个小故事。。。

让别人的生命有一点不同、有一点亮光是何等简单啊！

怎 么说呢？ 每一个人活在世上总不希望会被忽略。那种感觉太难受了。你今天问候了你的朋友吗？当你们偶然相遇时，你有热情的与他招手吗？或在路上与人擦肩而过时，你有 给他一个微笑吗？要知道，你的一个举动，都可能让他人感到焕然一新、让他人觉得美好。

有一个小故事是这样的：有一位退休的法官名为李厦普洛，是个极富爱心 的人。他喜欢拥抱他人，因为他明了，爱是最伟大的力量。他的大学同学都称他为「抱抱法官』。一天，李夏的一个职业为小丑的朋友来拜访他，并邀请他到一间残 障之家，探望那里的朋友。在那里，李夏很热心地去拥抱每一个病人，散播着关怀。数小时之后，他们来到最后一间病房。在那儿，李夏看到这一辈子所见过情况最 糟糕的三十四位病人。顿时，他的情绪十分复杂。最后他来到了最后一个病人李奥的面前。李奥穿着一件白色围兜，神情呆滞地流着口水。李厦见壮，对他随同的朋 友说：“我们跳过去别管他吧！”他朋友答道：“可是他也是我们的一份子啊！”于是，李夏深呼吸一下，弯下腰抱了李奥一下。突然间，李奥开始嘻嘻大笑，其他 的病人也顿时把整个病房弄得叮当作响。李夏不解地转过头向医护人员询问这是怎么一回事，只见所有医生及护士都喜极而泣。李夏只好问医护长是怎么一回事了。 李夏永远不会忘记她的回答：“二十三年来，我们第一次见到李奥笑了。”

让别人的生命有一点不同、有一点亮光是何等简单啊！我怎么也不会忘记这一个小故事。因为它唤醒我，要让一个人的一天过得好一些是那么的容易啊。。。

只要一个微笑。。一个拥抱。。就可以让一个人的生命重燃希望与欢乐！！
