When Life Becomes a Burden, Never Give Up

Life was all fun for josephine and her family just a few days ago until her mother came home one day looking very sad. It all started for Julie, a mother of three who had been happily married for almost thirty years.  She had arrived at work at 9 am that morning at her local downtown bank where she works, on Broad st. As she sat behind her desk, she felt something funny in her body, like extreme weakness.She tried getting to  her feet as she toppled over to the floor near her electric coffee maker. When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by half a dozen of doctors. ”What happened to me?” She asked. The diagnosis was multiple sclerosis. The doctor explained. You were lucky today, but this is a degenerative nerve disease. At some point you will find it harder to walk without support. Eventually you would be confined to a wheelchair and loose bowel and bladder control and become more and more dependent until you finally die. Josephine first thought was, God why me?

When Julie’s families and friends heard the news, they were very sad. How can this be? Julie is a strong member of the local branch of the St Mark Church. She is a good member and a strong supporter in community projects.

I remembered back in 2004, Steven a nine year old boy of a single mother had just gone to play with his friends when a group of  people came crying, looking for his mother. Steven had just been hit by a Taxi driver. I saw his mother sending herself to the floor crying to God for her son’s life. Also asking God this same question,why us, God?

What’s going on? Everyday, there is a bad news of some kind on the radio, TV or news papers, either a plane crashed with no survivor, or there’s a pandemic or tsunami. Could all these innocent people who become victims to these unusual conditions are themselves evil and just paying back? Could this be that all the passengers on board the 9-11 United Airline plane that went down in September of  01, were all bad people?

As these things happened to people who seems the least bit deserved it, the only comforting words we hear people say is, it is God’s will. Is this really true as they say. I’m not a big fan of this statement. I believe bad things happen to all people randomly, it doesn’t depend on your good deeds in the community or the Church you go to every Sunday, or the good you did to that needed child. We need to know as these things happened to us that God is not the engineering force behind them. If so it would be like an artist who have tried so hard to complete a beautiful painting and finally destroyed it. You see, it doesn’t make any sense at all. I also believe that most of our accidents are the result of being the wrong place at the wrong time.

Mankind needs to research death from a spiritual perspective in stead of making it a symbol of fear. Death only comes when life has to go away from us because of endless painful conditions, since its  presence will make us suffer more. Consider this, how can a man continue to live if he should lost his head in an accident? Can society accept him headless,or will children be able to stand this kind of sight? Or supposed a man was to drown by himself in a river with no one taking notice at all. Should he continue suffering under that water for all the time it will take until  help comes his way?
