Today I saw.....
A beautiful girl, with fair skin, curly golden hair and a beautiful smile. Today I saw her in bed eating lunch with her pink fingernails. Today I saw a beautiful girl. A girl so beautiful on the outside and yet so unhappy on the inside. Today I saw a girl, that tried to take her life...that tried to commit suicide.
A man, tall and strong. On a bed injured so bad that he can't move. He can't talk. He can't even smile. Today I saw a strong man communicate with only his head to nod. Today I saw a strong man helpless.
Today I saw an old lady and an old man. Brought in to see the doctor by their daughters. At night. Outside office hours. Today I saw the one being nurtured and cared before caring for the nurturer. Today, I saw the roles reversed. Today I saw kindness, unselfishness and love.
And today I saw a drunk. With a gash on his head. And his son not there. And the injury not a first one. And that many more before was also due to drunkenness. And I hate alcohol! And its bad effects. On the poor old man. And other road accidents caused by drunk drivers.
salam.
