We Care We Share

today's blog is so late its almost tomorow's !
It has become very apparent to me through time and experience, that despite the many cruel, violent, indiscriminate and pointless acts that occur in this world, as well as sadistic illnesses, there exist so many good compassionate and fair people.
We are living in age when it is becoming conveniently fashionable to use the sick and disabled as targets to discriminate and victimise.
Sadly, some fall for this and show they are lacking in the basic qualities that make us caring humans.
Yet in recent times i have come to the conclusion that there is a massive quantity of people who care so much for strangers, friends or acquaintances.This applies to Crohns sufferers as carers and recipients of care and compassion, as it does in all other areas.
With Crohns i see an abundance of people willing to share from and share with others to help life a little more tolerable. I have been offered fantastic help and compassion from fellow crohnies as well as from people who do not have the illness. I am sure many other sufferers have experienced the same.
As life progresses, and it seems more likely that the State is hoping to place more on the comfort and care of sufferers of illnesses, to family, friends and charity, the humanity i have witnessed gives me some hope.
Nevertheless, i continue to fight to maintain the care of the vulnerable, sick and disabled is fundamental as part of a civilised, caring society.
I believe in the spirit of people to show their caring qualities inspite of their own suffering. I witness it daily in what might be small, insignificant acts that might help much more significantly than they realise.
Crohns, as of today, remains incurable and chronic. It seems unlikely this will change drastically in the foreseeable future. It means the dependence on others will remain a big part in living with the illness.
I for one see some hope that compassion exists in abundance.
Sadly, in my humble opinion, the compassion, care and empathy i talk about, does not exist in our political rulers. They hide behind fake excuses to attack us and drive us into the dirt!
Hopefully, the many who care, the masses who share, will win. We will then have a land fit to call civilised and a 'society'.
