" Afraid to look at it" ?Well well, after a long time, atlast Iam ready to write and continue my flow of thoughts.Lately
there had been certain hitches with many things coming up but as we all know life goes on and
that one must have to catch up with it’s pace.
Recently one thing that caught my attention was the state
of the people coming to hospital (patients) and their relatives, meaning the mental statethey are in and their grim expressions.
" So distanced"!!
I am sure you can understand this, because we all know that people approach hospital or a doctor only when they have reached the furthest extreme stage whatever it could be whether a disease of body or of mind.
" Hiding behind - are you ?"
I mean nobody goes to a doctor saying –“ Doctor! I want to be healthy, what should I do to be
so”.Nor do they come for ensuring continued health.
" This is what we call the end stage"
Why I am stressing ,so much on this is that, this has become a pattern over generations, over
time that this habit has been inculcated in us that a person goes to a doctor only when he is sick.
And he ends up going to the doctor with all end stage disease. So if anybody says that they are
going to a doctor so much pain, anxiety and anguish is attached to the visit.
Just imagine you go to a hotel and you order your favorite pizza or favorite dish and while eating
it you associate pain suddenly with it and eat it dismally, will the food benefit you? Definitely NO
!! Right.
So eventhough it is understandable that one has the anxiety about whether they will be cured
and whether they will be able to foot the bills , whether everything will be alright. Things will
happen with it’s own course whether you worry or don’t worry and the one thing that is under
your control is that you can efficiently manage whatever situation arises according to your
adequacy. It is surprising that once a patient enters the atmosphere of hospital their face takes
on a grim expression and their mind is full of confusion and random thoughts, you hardly come
across any person smiling at you unless of course you are strong of mind and have the belief that
you will be cured.
So what my take back “Home message” is that whenever you go to a hospital , see if you can
smile, (test it J ) and if you cannot see if you can plant a smile on some others face,
I assure you your single face would be sufficient to light the faces of so many whoever you would
be meeting. And dont be surprised if the doctor also smiles at you!!
And at the end of the day you would be happy that you have not only changed yourself but also
have made a difference to others life. And that is what life is all about Growing yourself and
helping people around you. Right? J
"Iam growing well , how about you?"
