Cancer Cells Aka Al Cancer

Terrorist are suicide bombers, murders of innocent people, torturers, and kidnappers of woman and children; breeders of fear and chaos; and cancer cells. That is right, cancer cells, aka Al Cancer.

Oncologists are the generals who fight these terrorist with their arsenal of – surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy drugs.

Al Cancer hides in the body and attacks with a tumor. The oncologist performs multiple tests hoping the tumor has not spread and is contained, which enables him to remove it surgically. Removing the tumor is risky as terrorist can escape during the procedure. Samples, taken during surgery, are biopsied, and if positive radiation and chemotherapy is implemented.

Radiation therapy is the smart bomb targeting a specific area of the body, and chemotherapy is chemical warfare. These weapons are effective either by themselves or in combination.

Radiation often causes collateral damage in the form of radiation burns, but kills Al Cancer, and those that escape go into hiding.

Chemotherapy affects the whole body; sending terrorists further into the nooks and crannies in the body waiting for the poisoning to end. When the oncologist retests the patient, they usually cannot find terrorists present; claim success and the patient goes on with their lives.

The Al Cancer survivors come out of hiding; gather, reproduce building up their force, and wait.

Five years pass, the patient revisits their oncologist who congratulates them on their cure. They are members of the survivor club, go out into the world, declare freedom from Al Cancer, praise the medical profession, and run for the cure.

Al Cancer is ready; chemotherapy has made it stronger, new immune weapons developed, and an army three times its original size is moving throughout the body. They attack with a massive tumor, seven times bigger than the original, growing five times faster, and involving more than one organ.

The oncologist is surprised, surgery is not an option; radiation destroys a small group of cells, and chemotherapy bounces off Al Cancers new immune weapons killing healthier cells weakening the patient. The oncologist realizes the terrorists will win and tells the patient.

Al Cancer is the ultimate terrorist as it uses the person’s own body against them. Its attacks are sudden, swift, and planned impeccably; no one is immune, some survive the initial attack, but the second invasion is successful.

Al Cancer wins every time, as its name alone drives fear into our hearts, and we view it as a death sentence. This fear causes us not to seek medical assistance when we know something is wrong.

The oncologist can destroy Al Cancer when found early, so ten years down the road, we will be a true survivor.

 

Suicide The Ultimate Selfish Act

Suicide the Ultimate Selfish Act

Suicide is the ultimate selfish act an individual can commit leaving those behind wondering why. These egotistical individuals view suicide as the nirvana of self-absorption, which few have the determination to reach.

Attempts

The methods people use to commit suicide are a good indicator of a person’s seriousness. People who attempt are afraid to die, feel no one understands them, and take a non-violent approach like an overdose of pills.

They contact a friend or loved one prior too, or right after the attempt, as their goal is not to kill one self, but a desperate cry for help.

Most survive the attempt, have psychiatric evaluation, receive counseling, family support, and never resort to this behavior again.

Successes

These individuals are secretive, determined, have a plan, never contact anyone, and the methods are violent – hanging, firearms, stabbing, jumping, or slashing of wrists in a hot tub.

Some are in counseling or have had it in the past; others are on medication, but even their counselor or psychiatrist does not have an inkling of their plans.

When a person becomes determined to commit suicide, it is impossible for anyone to stop them.

This individual’s concern is about them and not anyone in their life. They do not care about the ramification of their act, the guilt they leave behind for the survivors, or the unanswered question – why.

The Aftermath

Loved ones and friends make excuses for the individual; take the blame, and should have seen the signs of the person’s deep depression or mental illness. Guilt overwhelms them, and they rack their brain trying to see the signs they missed, which could have prevented this act. The answer will remain allusive and they will endure a life of wondering, because of the ultimate selfish act by an individual.

Going To Grandma’s House On Thanksgiving; Perception vs Reality

Perception

Perceptions of happier days drive millions on a trek to grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. The media feeds this yearning with scenes of families sitting in the dining room, the perfect turkey on the table, and grandma bringing in her famous stuffing. Commercials crammed with picturesque autumn scenes and greeting loved ones at the door bring this awareness to the forefront.

People will do anything, go any distance, endure hardship, and lose sleep to sit at grandma’s dining room table on Thanksgiving Day. This allows them a trip down memory lane recapturing the childhood magic when everything was perfect.

Reality

Millions want to spend Thanksgiving at grandma’s house but the following obstacles impede them – cost, transportation, distance, work, and family relationships. The first four are self-explanatory and are major contributors to not attending.

A fight with a family member is the last excuse used when not attending. The storm is gone; the wound is healing, but seeing that individual will re-open the wound. Thanksgiving is important but the emotional strain is too much to endure for an afternoon. So, they make the call to grandma explaining Jack cannot get time off and a one-day trip up and back is too much for the children.

The other reality people never see in advertising or by the media are people who do not have family, or had horrible childhood experiences. Holidays for them are a reminder of something they once had or bring on nightmares. While the rest of us are getting ready for the big day, they cannot wait till it is over.

People live more in the world of perception than reality as it helps them get through. Reality stinks and is brought to the forefront during the holidays. Perception gets us through these times, as we can live in a Hallmark card with the snow gently falling on our shoulder as we ring grandma’s doorbell.
