Progeria, Ignorance



Sis rehearsed her presentation with me as her only audience.
The topic is about Progeria,
A type of rare genetic disorder that the symptoms of aging occurs in an early age.
Occurs in one per 8 million children.
According to sis, most of them can't live over 21.
Like when Benjamin Button was young,
their physical will look like old people.
Bald, no eye brows and have wrinkle skin.
This is really sad as there aren't any treatment for this disorder yet.
If someday you come across children with this kind of symptoms,
please, please, please do not look down towards them.
They are normal kids with some special features only.
They are special beings who deserves more love and care from all of us.
Here's a touching link about real life story of progeria patients if you wanna know more about it.

Nowadays, I'm quite sensitive towards sociological issues.
Dunno why.
Someone brought out the serious problem in the society nowadays
which I had been wanting to shout out a long time ago.
It's about the ignorance of human beings.
Many people now are really self-centered and they do not care about what is actually happening around the world.
Had been doing an assignment about materialistic people,
it's just another fact to tell how arrogant human really are.
Nature disasters, poverty, sufferings, hunger victims....
So many issues that need our attention,
but only few respond to them....
Not mentioning this issue,
human ignorance can even been seen through a simple school event,
people only clap and cheer for the popular people,
ignoring those others who too deserves to be cheered for.
And sad case in this cruel world,
when can this be put to an end???

p.s. Fulfilled the 1st day of Daily earth hour, waiting to do it again.

p.p.s 2nd batch of N.S. recruits went to camp today, Wishing all of you good luck and have fun ya! And Soon's going off tomorrow, have a great life there o!
