HOPE

Daily u come across many quacks, the ‘baba bangali’s’ claimin to cure terminal cancers and AIDS... all of them have flourishing business… I mean people knw tht while the world is spendin millions n billions of dollars tryin to find a cure for these diseases but still they go to these quacks… I was wonderin wht makes them go…??? Well I realized that its HOPE tht makes them go to these quacks n get themselves fooled… people with terminal diseases know tht they are goin to die soon… and its human nature to want to live more.. so whnever they see such ads statin cures for cancer n HIV, a HOPE arises in their minds… a HOPE tht maybe they might get cured.. a HOPE tht maybe the babas medicine may do some miracle and cure them…
I came across a known person whos suffering from a terminal disease.. he came to us askin our opinion about one such baba frm a distant place claimin to cure such terminal diseases with herbs… I studied the persons face… behind the pitiful face were 2 reactions waitin… I guessed… there was HOPE lurkin behind… he was waitin for me to say yes… if I said yes then there would be happiness all over his face…n if I replied in negative then sadness… I thought for a moment n said yes… yes because I wanted him to experience more happiness than sadness in whtever days he has got to live… he would have HOPE by his side until he takes tht babas medicines… tht HOPE will bring happiness on his face…
So indirectly I too ended up supporting the quack baba… I knew tht baba was goin to pocket money playin with patients feelings… but I guess all that money was worth as it brought a HOPE back into the patient and with HOPE came HAPPINESS…!!!
