xeroderma pigmentosum

I was reading the news today, and I saw a really sad news. It was about a family living in the poor part of my country. The family consists of a mother and three children(two girls and one boy). Their father died, and they are living with their mother, all three children are suffering from a skin disease called xeroderma pigmentosum. It is a really painful disease. Their skin is so dry and sensitive especially to the sun. They can't go outside when the sun is in the sky, because their skin would burn. Their mother spends too much money buying sunscreens and different creams. None of the children can find a job, because nobody gives them job and nobody helps them.

They prefer to die but not live like this. The oldest child  lost one of his eyes and he suffers the most.
Yes, it is a pain...I wish they could divide their pain, If they could; I would be the first one to take some of their pain, and make them feel a little comfortable...

I learned to thank god for my good life, for my healthy body, and for everything I have. Maybe we would never thank god; If  we wouldn't see these people, and If they weren't on the earth. 
Let's always smile to our life, and be thankful for what we have.

people are like a scale



Have you ever been very kind to someone and then you just realized that he/she is so mean to you?...or have you ever helped your friend and then realized that he/she never helps you when you need a help?...Sometimes I feel that if I was this kind to a chicken , she would give me two eggs everyday, and not only my heart didn't break but I had two eggs and I could make an omelette with them.
I think it's our fault that we forget that humans are like a scale. Some people are like a kitchen scale, it doesn't show more than 5 pounds. Don't forget that you can put heavier weight on it, but it doesn't matter what ever you put on it (doesn't important if it is 11 pounds or 15 pounds), it still shows you the same thing, because the understanding of the scale is that much, however, some scales like weigh scale shows the weight until 550 pounds, If someone that is 130 pounds go on it, it shows 130 pounds, it also shows 330 pounds exactly as 330 pounds, but it has a limit and that limit is 550 pounds.
Some people are like digital scales, they don't have any limit and you can always have their support. They deserve so much kindness and help, like some mothers or some friends that are really like your brother or sister.
Let's always try to be like a digital scale, without any limit.
