What do you think is the worst illness?
Question:
Answers:
I think mental illness or insanity is the worst illness. When i accompanied my sister (who is a doctor) for a medical mission at a provincial center in the Philippines... my heart went out for the mental patients there. Imagine how it is for them... its like you are there but you're not really there... physically, you are there but the people around you cant talk to you. Your surrounding is in chaos but you're acting as if its quite and peaceful. There are important and life-changing events that unfold around you... but for you its a boring day. They can be in a party where everyone's singing the same happy song except you... you're humming a funeral hymn. Then everybody's laughing but you're crying... everyone around you is watching TV but you're watching movie in your mind.
Its like you're dead but you cant be buried. When you're insane... you're like a zombie... except that you really haven't died.
I would rather be paraplegic than an insane person. I would even rather have a malignant cancer than be crazy. At least in cancer... you and your loved ones know that you will die soon... you'll get buried once you died. But if you're insane... its like you're just pretending that you're still alive.
