The simple fact is Mother Teresa never criticized you. As far as pain goes I'm on more phenylbutazone than Secretariat, so I'm not impressed with your platitudes. I've seen a lot of people suffer and die needlessly in Canadian hospitals without anyone holding their hand. At least they got that in a Calcutta hospice. Try and make your own little world a better place and have the decency to adopt a less vulgar approach to someone deserving respect. I never said "life on this planet is superfluous to a mythical place". I just claim you don't know and neither does anyone else that it's not. Or perhaps you're a shareholder of some drug company and have seen it take a nose dive and expect the SOC to bail you out. Those millions might seem like a lot of money to you, but in the real world it does not go on forever. Beds, blankets, electricity, food and medicine all cost money and need to be replenished constantly. (And YES Solon they did provide medicine to patients) bcexperience.com My mind went to Mother Teresa, and those who cared for her during her illness. I wondered... Many times I've meditated on Christ's agony, and that of others in history, and my illness has made me realize how incredibly humiliating it must have been for people like Mother Teresa, Christ, and even those who bravely fought for freedom to have to ask those who were murdering them for help, or even for water! Is this journey teaching me something? Does one permanently grow from a challenge like this? I don't know - yet. "Today" is still my focus.
