The fault in our stars
Let us say this person is facing capital punishment. But the execution day is not yet set. It may be tomorrow, or next month or after 10 years. What will be the feelings of the person.
Terrifying! I think he/she will say kill me now and get it over with and beg too.
Well, this story I am reading is about such a death sentence - cancer. Advanced stage with no hope of cure. The patient waiting for death is 15 year old girl.
She is having lung cancer and has to walk with oxygen cylinder everywhere.
Of course, she does not want to go any where or meet any one. And she keeps re-reading one particular book about a cancer patient again and again.
Her mother is concerned about her depression and drags her to a support group. Not wanting to hurt her mother girl goes there and sits where people tells stories about miracles and such b***t.
I read a twitter post two days ago saying "karm ka phal sada milta hai. achche karmoka bhi, bure karmoka bhi". You are absolutely wrong, my dear philosopher. What bad karma did this little girl commit, so as to be waiting for death every day, to be pitied by everyone, never to lead a normal life, never to be a child.
I know very well that I am emotionally reacting to a fiction. But it is beyond sad.
So if you are feeble-hearted do not read the book "The fault in our stars" by John Green.
