Why people who normally like the fact that you are a generous, caring person think that you should become a selfish person just because you've got a terminal disease ( Read more... )

It seems that people want to ignore the fact that as humans, we must live together. We are interdependent upon one another. They also seem to forget that that which does not kill us makes us stronger. You know that your guys did their best to minimize transmission and that there were no other options that were reasonable. Terminal disease should not even be considered. There is one terminal condition that we all suffer-being human. The only certainty in life is that we will all die. Some of us will die sooner and some later. Some of us will die of some disease or virus. Some of us will die in an accident and others by human hand-either our own or someone else's ( ... )

I agree with the fact that at some point we will all die. I tell people that on the list of things which can possibly kill me the cancer is in the top five. However, that doesn't mean that some thing else might cause my death. Slim a chance as there is, I could still die from being stepped on by a yak in the middle of a mountain field ( ... )

I've found that the most difficult person anyone can be is themselves. Especially when so many others insist that who they really are is unacceptable.

I learned a long time ago that if I try to live as others think I should then I feel miserable and hate myself. If someone has a problem with how I am then that is their problem not mine. I don't tell other people how they should be but I know I'm a rarity in this (so I am told and so I have seen).

But I still don't understand why people try to change a person they praise for being generous and unselfish into a selfish person just because of a disease. Especially when I hear them complain about people who are selfish and wishing they could learn to be generous and unselfish.

Guess it's just human nature to be contrary.
