\ncome every time we hear about someone getting cancer it’s usually framed under
\nthe <\/span>“courageous battle they’re
\nfighting” banner? How are you being courageous simply by being diagnosed with a
\ndisease? The fact that you are searching for a cure and trying to remain
\npositive while under dire circumstances isn’t called courageous, it’s called
\nnot dead yet. Sounds to me more like common sense!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nreally don’t have a whole heck of a lot of options do you? Outside of joining
\nthe French foreign legion there really isn’t anything courageous<\/i> to do while you’re trying to get healed! Courageous is
\nthe wrong word I think. Hope and persistence in seeking a cure is the more
\naccurate term I would guess and the only admirable trait is you don’t commit
\nsuicide before it arrives but instead are optimistic about a positive outcome. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nlike other residues of the fall is a disease. For some it will become terminal.
\nBut the truth of life is the moment you are conceived you are terminal. You are
\nstricken with the ultimate killer disease that is never cured, mortality. The
\ntruth is if we admit it to ourselves is this courageous battle thing is
\nactually the rest of us thinking if we praise the one with cancer maybe we<\/i> won’t get it. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nfeel sorry for cancer victims and think heaping accolades on them somehow make
\nthe rest of us invulnerable to it happening to us. The truth is every day you
\nare alive is one day closer to you being dead. It seems if we all saw life as a
\nterminal illness it would actually give us as humans the truth perspective we
\ncould all live by. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nbeing told we’re dying is courageous, and since we are all dying then aren’t we
\nall potentially leading courageous lives. That is if courage means not quitting
\nor it means always seeking the winning outcome to a game that is already
\nrigged.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nto me is courageous. I don’t see God like I see humans. I don’t communicate,
\nunderstand or feel completely at ease with the way God interacts in my life. I
\nam told by my faith to HAVE faith in God in order to please Him. As a matter of
\nfact faith is the only way to<\/b> please
\nGod by His own words. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nin case there is anyone out there that believes I’m being insensitive to people
\nwith cancer I should inform you my dad died of it. The cancer that ate his
\nbrain and killed an otherwise healthy man of 59 who was gone within 6 months of
\ndiagnosis was cruel and evil and horrific. It robbed him of his speech, motors-kills
\nand ability to communicate.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nhate cancer. But it is real. Death is real. Dying is real and there is nothing
\nparticularly courageous about it since we don’t have a choice to avoid it.
\nCourage is throwing yourself on a grenade to save your squad when you didn’t
\nhave too. Dying for others when you could have survived is courageous. Death is
\nhanded to us whether we like it or not. Death is leaving this earth too soon
\nwithout your consent. <\/span><\/p>\n
\ncoming though. Everyone reading this will be dead within a hundred years. True
\ncourage comes with how you live your life to inspire others. How you die is an
\nextension of this and can be inspiring as well but how you die isn’t your
\nchoice. It is thrust upon you. If you have lived well the dying is a comfort, a
\nreward for completing the journey. In my opinion dying isn’t courageous…living
\nis.<\/span><\/p>\n
