Modern humanity is becoming nothing more than a mass consuming machine. A destructive machine, that spreads over earth harvesting resources until they dry up. So if you think about it, People, could be defined as the same as cancer. Our lives, now days, are no more than simple cogs in this machine. We are a disease.
The real point is that we’ve forgotten to appreciate the beauty of life and its frailty. We’ve become stuck in a false sense of security, a materialised common existence that moves along to the undying drone of everyone and everything stuck in the same looping rut.
Our potential and optimism is what makes life meaningful and creates our purpose for an existence. However while we are aware of this we don’t act on it. People are too content to play it safe. We fall into a standardisation and abide by the social norms.
Go to school. Get a Job. Get a family. Get a House and so on.... until we finally get the wake up call.
Cancer.
‘OH NO’ you say? Why?
Because you’ll die? HA.
Survival rates are increasing every day, and didn’t you see the news a few weeks ago? Modified ecstasy (MDMA) is showing great promise as being a 100% cure for various strands, so it could even be more fun than a night on the gin and juice.
Cancer breathes new meaning into life. It creates vibrant colours, new sounds, amazing tastes, inspiring sights and gives new light to the day, but the rest of us can’t even understand this, I don’t.
We will never fathom the real beauty of life until we’ve dreamt of death creeping over us in the night.
Cancer is the cure to our disease.
The definition of cancer should be; the start of realisation, the acceptance of real life and the beginning of new hope. Ask a cancer survivor if it has changed their view on life.
Watch them smile. They know what it really is to be alive.
