"Haha! You got me!"
"You're dead!"
"Your number is up!"
"You're no longer loved"
.... and many other victious sayings
And when s/he begins to ask "why me?", it's gonna stuff in her/his head all kinds of answers.
"Because you are a bad person"
"You did something wrong, really wrong, and this is your punishment!"
"Well, you were born to have cancer"
"Because you're not loved"
"God did it! He doesn't love you at all."
... and so on....
Many of us have or have not had any family members or friends who have cancer. Many of us might have had or might not have had cancer.
But cancer is real and it's out there, and it can happen to anyone. It might take away your money. It might take away your loved ones. It might take away your life. BUT THAT'S IT. IT'S STILL LIMITED.
"It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot erode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot destroy memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit" (Anonymous)
...
and it can't take away who you are.
You might think:
"But I wanna live. It takes away my life, that's all I need! I want my life back! I want to continue to live."
Well, my friend, we all have to leave this world someday. Death is something no one can escape. The matter is timing. Some young. Some old. But all have to go.
I'm not trying to say "Because death is unavoidable that we should just give up and die!" No! We'll fight back - until the last moment. Because that will let our children know that life is worth living even though there are many obstacles ahead.
You know, cancer?
Many people fall ill because of you
They sweep, they scream...
But life goes on
and so many things you can't do
So, don't try to tell me I'm not loved
or I'm a loser
Okay?
