HERE IS A HARD HITTING BUT THOUGHTFUL ONE

I have been reading up on a couple of really lovely inspiring stories and wanted to share them with you. If you have already read them, sorry, I’m  usually the last in the queue to find out anything?

But we can have a little chat about the stories at the end, also a little hard hitting at the bottom of here. So put your feet up and lets first, look into kindness?

Did you read the story about the baby twin girls that were born three month premature? One of the babies, Brielle, was only two pounds when born and she had breathing problems she was so ill the doctors did not think she would survive. She got worse and suddenly one of the nurses, had a  great idea, she would put the  healthy  twin in the same incubator as the ill baby. She did this and sometime later, all of the nurses and Doctors, were hurried into the room where the baby’s lay. The healthy baby had her little arm around  her little ill sister and the baby who was hardly breathing before began to breathe. She started to eat and put weight on. Now doing very well, thanks to her sister, the nurse and her little new life plan, that I will hope will grow just like her?

Wont they be close when they get older? Oh, I really hope so? What special little lives?

My BF sent this story out on Facebook and I thought it was a great act of kindness and honesty.

athlete Ivan Fernández Anaya from Spain, was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai - bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner  the certain winner of the race  mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line.

Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai’s mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first.
 What an honest person? What would you have done in the Spaniards case? Me personally? I would have done the same, because  if I had just ran on, I would never have really felt as though I had won. It to me would have been like cheating.

I wonder what makes a good person and a bad one?

Is it the upbringing? Hmm, I think that may have something to do with it, but not totally, as I know bad people who have siblings, whom are good people and honest.

I was watching a great documentary on our television here in the UK, about Death row in the US of A.

It left me wondering, if the interviewer, Sir Trevor McDonald from the UK, was asking questions, that he was told he could ask, or was  he just in awe, about his surroundings?

There was a man who I felt really sad and sorry for, he murdered two old people when he was just thirteen, and for that stupid thoughtless act, he got Death row? If he had done that at eighteen, I would have been OK about it, it was the fact that he was just a child with an obvious temper and unfortunately, access to a gun.

The thing is, other prisoners who had been in for as long as him, had so much freedom in comparison to him. Why was he in a more secure cell? He seemed unbelievably intelligent. His cell, was wall to wall books, on the most fascinating subjects. How the Universe began, all kinds of philosophy and psychology books too. He spoke in a calm thoughtful  manner. His words were so well placed and in an immaculate way of spoken word.

I felt sad an yet shocked by him, Not often I think someone has a wasted life and normally I am very black and white, if you have done  a crime, you serve the time. But this man seemed so good. And like a favourite Uncle you  could sit with having a  cup of coco, warming yourself near an open fire on a winters night.

One expects a murderer, to be a little on the crazy side. Not too intelligent and with a temper. This man, showed no signs on camera, but why indeed, was he in a high protected cell?

I’m sure the prisoners were told to be on their best behaviour? I’m equally sure that the guards  and other authorities were told to show a sympathetic side? Both sides, are masters of manipulation, in a controlled environment, and sadly, this program left me with the thought that it for sure was controlled. There would have been so many questions I would have asked, like one man went to a house, high on drugs to rape a lady. A little girl answered the door he couldn’t go ahead with the rape, so he cut the throats of the lady and her four year old child. The man on death row, sat in his cell, so calm, so articulate with his knowledge of perfect linguistics. An yet just before the show showed that side of him, a film was shown of him when he was just arrested, telling how he would never do such a thing and how he loves children, so would never kill a child. If I was allowed, I would then have asked the question,

“What made you lie, when you were first arrested? Some would say, well, it’s easy? It is  so he got let off? But I wonder? Is that where so called normal law abiding citizens, are going wrong, in understanding the minds of criminals?

I would want to know perhaps gory details, of what was going through his mind, when he was putting the knife through the child’s throat?

Did he have nightmares? If his answers were all

“I just wanted to get off,

I had no feelings,

And  no nightmares? Well, I would say he is not human.

I would say his life should not go on for much longer, but before ending his life, his body should be used to help others to live, and that is where experimentation should come into it.

As I have expressed in blogs before, conditions which make people’s lives difficult, or deadly, would have limitations or at least hope, if we cut out all of the cruelty to animals and lapidary testing and went straight to the person/people.

There are treatments going on right now in labs all over the world, to find cures for my eye condition. But the process is so slow. From test tubes, to rats, to rabbits to dogs and then people. Go to the people who have no purpose on this earth, other than to be evil, so weaken the evil with positive results.

Of course you will get the people who believe everyone has a right to live? But would they say that if it was their  Mother, sister, daughter that had been raped, murdered, or Son who had been shot for example?

If their child had been sexually abused for many years by the same person? Would they  really want the best for the person whom had committed such evil?

You will get some people who would say that people should not be tested on for treatments such as blindness for example, as losing your sight, is not a life or death situation?

Well to them, I would say

“Did you read the blog or the story of late about the twin men who were told they were going blind and couldn’t face it so opted for euthanasia?

As for the Policeman in the UK, who I met a couple of years ago, whom was shot in his eyes subsequently was blinded and could not live with the dreadful day to  day life, lost his wife as she could not cope with the fact of her blind husband and he ended up hanging himself, is that not an important reason to find a cure or some help for treatment for the blind?

For so many blind people who are on depression tablets every day of their lives, those who can not face a future in the dark, those who are too afraid to open the door and step outside. For those who will never see their children’s wedding or Grand child’s face. For those who the summer is a constant winter.  For those who think they understand and know it all, to you, you, know nothing.
