The Dialogue (40) - consolation

the hospital on second floor

I went to the drugstore to have my prescription filled a couple of days ago. And I found myself to get accustomed to have a bunch of pills regularly on a daily basis. I was emotionally resistant on having drugs once for a while and also suspicious about side effects of a drug dosage.

 

Occasionally, I was told not to have those chemical aids from medicines but to get some natural remedy in other ways. I was confused and not sure of which one I should follow. I kept on listening to what I had occurred on my own inner mind as a basic form of thoughts and judgement to decide which one would be better off in the long run.

 

What I was persuaded by myself was that I had summarized with the notion that one ingredient or some combination of particular foods could hardly cure what I was suffering from. And the next obvious step would be that I was taking a proven chance to get lessened, at least by simply taking what doctors asked me to follow. Of course, there is nothing perfect in that, but I preferred to take that kind of probability.

 

Sometimes, I still doubt whether I am doing the right thing. In the mean time, I am sick and tired of taking pills two times a day punctually. However, I am being eased and encouraged by the pharmacist's quote that "we have a duty to live hard simply because we are born".
