A thought that I want to share to everyone...
"90 people get the swine flu and everybody wants to wear a mask. A million have AIDS and no one wants to wear a condom."
Sometimes, I can't believe that people are crazy when it comes to logical thinking. Swine flu was just recently detected and not even that big of a threat to our society (or so I think...) but people are already panicking, wearing masks, asking their doctors for vaccines so they can prevent it but then again, come on!
AIDS has long been a circulating virus to our society. You can see a lot of advertisements on television, in the newspapers, and of course, the ever-reliable internet. People are well-informed and well-educated on how you can get infected and how to prevent it. But still, something as simple as wearing a condom for protection is not being followed. AIDS is a worldwide threat but it seems like people don't care. All they care about is the "craving" part, not minding the consequences. Even children are affected (and worse, infected!) because of their parents' negligence for protection.
We have long been informed about AIDS. I just hope that, if people can do preventions for some flu that seems to be curable, they can do the same to prevent AIDS from spreading as well.
I value life a lot. I hope you do too.
Ang ganda nito (AIDS info) Beth! My favorite topic, the one that I've spent so much time writing about (noong araw na nasa PTonight pa ako). Karamihan ng mga nakasalamuha ko (people living with HIV/AIDS) noon namayapa ng lahat.
ReplyDeleteWala eh. some people would rather risk getting infected with the AIDS virus than protect themselves from it.
i agree with you Beth.
