Neoplasms
It sure is an interesting word.. I mean it sounds like some term from Star-Trek.. Neoplasms.. And perhaps it is. Synonimous for the word “Cancer” it has a less tragic ring to it. Infact its kinda spell bounding sort of…
Well.. all is well until one of these neoplasms don’t end up inside you. It’s not so much the disease, but the fear it drives through entire families. If there was any other word that gave out the same destructive power, then it must be “Hitler”.
This time around Neoplasms have found its way to one of my relations. The effect is devastating. The necessities that have to be attended to have increased by three fold. The laughs and smiles have faded. The memories are strong. Infact, its these that keep you going.
But WHY is it so tragic… I mean why does “Cancer” drive so much fear into everybody’s mind and body!?!?!?!?
It not like Sri Lanka’s the safest place to walk on earth… and its not new news that we all have to leave this world one day..
I guess because it’s like being given a red notice.. It’s destruction of hope. Hope is what all humans feed on. No Hope = No humans.
