the ironic truth

an ironic truth. i went to RS Kanker Dharmais this late afternoon. i met someone who can help me to finish my final assignment. my final assignment is about the csr strategy in one company and how it is related to the company's reputation.

anyway,i met one parents there. they came from outside Jakarta. they came to take their daughter to hospital. i didnt't realize what's wrong with her at first, then i saw her eyes. her left eyes was actually smaller than the other. and the nurse said to me that her eyes were 'cat eyes' or mata kucing in bahasa. in the dark, our eyes won't usually shine. but we can see cat's eyes in the dark right? that's why this disease called mata kucing, cause the patient's eyes can shine in the dark. and this 18-months-girl had this disease. she had this since her age was 6 months. at that time, only her left eye that caught by the disease. i assumed her family is not wealthy so they decided not to take care the disease. sadly, now the disease has spread to her right eye. and the nurse said, if it had been taken care since they first caught the disease, the doctors can actually save the girl's eyes. but now, the doctors have to try to save the girl's life. and the chance she can actually see is really low. she got eye cancer.

18-months-girl. i wonder, it must feel painful and sad and i don't know, excruciating, not able to see this beautiful world around us. i actually have some troubles in my eyes. and it's enough for me. i really wanna take care of my eyes better. and i feel reallly really blessed to have such a great family who pays really good attention to my health.

i hope that 18-months-girl can make it. i hope the doctors can save her, save her eyes too. and when she grows, i hope she can make a difference and help other children from having the same disease like she had. meanwhile, i hope after i finish my school, i will able to help those unfortunate kids in every way i can do. cause they're just a kid who never do anything wrong. this is an ironic truth, a great nation with sick kids spread all over the country.

the question is, what will happen to this nation when the number of those sick kids keep growing and nobody can save them?
