This & That Including What Ails

Choices

on September 18, 2016

Choices are my innermost voice, it tells me what I should do.

Often times what I should do, is at best, what I could do.

The ability to do something or anything, is heavily dependent on a choice of action.

Most times, choices are easy to make when the given situation is an easy one.

Other times, choices are hard to make when the given situation is complex and life threatening.

Today, I read in the papers of how an upcoming 22 year old China movie star died within2 months of acute lymphoma as she chose to have Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for treatment when she should have undergone chemotherapy.

She chose cupping and Kua Sa i.e. suction cups to move qi and the latter meaning removing bad qi energy.

A big hoo ha arose in the press or netizens (as we say) that TCM practitioner conned her of her monies and that she stoically followed traditional methods of Chinese medical treatment.

No one really knows what is her basis of choosing. What was reported though was that she did not want to take the poisons of chemotherapy.

To me, it seems this 22 year old gave up hope to live and chose to die in as dignified a manner as she could, without losing her locks, beauty and composure.

I may be wrong. Maybe she was indeed conned of her right decision?

Chosen Decisions are right when things turn out fine.

Chosen Decisions are wrong when things turn out bad.

Sounds like Russian Roulette to me as it is anyone’s best guess if the chamber if empty or filled with a bullet.

Choices to me, is anyone’s best guess and this ring’s true otherwise, why is there such a thing as making informed choices.

Left or right anyone? Ha ha!

    It is hard to make decisions as difficult as that poor young girls. The main thing is to actually make the decision. Her cancer may have been so aggressive she would have died in 2 months anyway. Chemotherapy is not for everyone.
