One More Candle

I received an email from a friend today that went something like this:

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.
Even if it’s to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.


A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.
Please Keep This Candle Going!

It had a different picture, but you get the point.

At any rate, I was quite surprised by my somewhat cynical and disbelieving initial response to this email. I angrily typed away and sent it off to her before it sank in to my head: My prayer is that they RELEASE the cure for cancer. I believe it’s already here and the government is withholding it… how’s THAT for conspiracy theories?!

I could feel the venom seething through my veins as I wrote it. As of late, I have been around WAY TOO MUCH death at the hands of fucking cancer. I feel angry that gazillions of dollars are wasted on rescuing other countries rather than focusing on the really important stuff like curing cancer and HIV, etc. Actually, I truly think that the cure is there and the FDA is blocking it.

Yeah… I feel angry right now.

And, at the same time, I still choose to support this prayer that was started with good intents by someone, somewhere.
