The tolerance and the powerlessness

Sick patients and their families wait in the scorching heat and the gate to the hospital is closed for so long. Why do we keep voting for the same people who can't seem to do the job they promised the nation and the whole world every four years? All they do is talk about new free surgeries and now the community has to pay almost three times more for the same medicine.

The hospital wants to charge the community for treating malaria. People are starving in the hospital and you see a man who couldn't even afford a pair of shoes and is staring at the floor for about an hour. Why? It's embarrassing for the human race and it's embarrassing for what we call a civilization. People in government pay for their medical insurance to go abroad for checkups. It's yet another day but the same routine.

The electricity might go out again today in the community. The nurse would tell you that they run out of cotton. And what would most patients do about it? They're already desperate for help for themselves or their loved ones, they might be in a critical condition. That's the thing about humanity. It's not easy to feel exactly what someone else feels. A person could say, I'm hungry. You would pity him, but if only you felt the actual pain of the hunger and you had spare change maybe it'll compel you to show more compassion.

It is now pointless to keep paying to see the same doctors. And it's not just politics, work environment is messed up too.

The office doors are still closed and the boss is yelling again. Yet the salary working stays put at his desks but the salary is not coming. They keep tolerating this because of the word security and the word risk. They have a job and it creates an illusion that they're secured. But a job that doesn't pay and only promises to pay, can that be called a job still? It's really weird what people would accept as norm for a long time until they've had enough before they form groups to go on demonstrations and strikes.

Why is it so hard to say no. The hours are not even worth the money. But do they usually have the power to stop it? Can they say no to this and find a better way out. If there was a better way out, they would have used it, is what someone said. But someone has also said there's always a way out. Is that really the case in real life?

They hope for a better day and keep suffering. Hope must go with effort towards a plan of escape or success, otherwise it's nothing but wishful thinking.
