Journal lyoz's Journal: Death and disease
14:25(work)
capt ahmed latif was in lahore. Although he had a lot of interesting things to share, but those are not going to be the topic of my journal entry. There was this brief momentary discussion as we were going from lakhshmi to mall road in his brothers car...about death and disease
It wasnt a philosophical discussion about the nature of these things. The point I was making was that if an old person is very very sick--irrecoverable terminal disease, and he is only living in like a semi-dead state...not able to talk or walk or maybe even sense anything other then pain--then its better that he dies, or atleast I would prefer dying to such a miserable state of affairs. Miserable not only for me, but also for the ppl around me.
Then I also remember a discussion regarding profession or maybe would-be spouse's profession. I remember saying that I didnt want myself or her to be a doctor asdont like the peculiar hospital smell; the smell of medicine....of death and disease.
But now nanee amee is in hospital, an old jondius has eaten up her lever. The doctor is saying that it is in advanced stages and there is no recovery. I went to see her in the morning. And to add to her misery, while she was at the hospital, she fell out of her bed and injured herself seriously. Her mouth,lips, teeth, chest, and knees are still badly bruised and swollen. Though she is not on heavy medication but she is often drifting between conscious and semi-conscious sense lessness. Her pain would be terrible and that too at this age, when all resistences die down.
All in all its quite a miserable and unfortunate picture. She is in cmh. So I went there again in the evening, and she looked better. Now all I care is that she does not suffer. She should not suffer. At this age, how can she even be allowed to suffer. Death is inevitable--wat about disease, wat about pain. Cant it be painless, cant these sufferings disappear. We suffer so much even when we are healthy. Isnt mental torture enuff. Shouldnt we all be healthy so that the only problem is the mind--and then philosophy and religion can cure its diseases too.
