The Tunrpoint

The red cross volunteers stirred my conscious and the conscious of thousands of people like me, we saw them running in the WAR ZONE just to help remove disfigured corps under the pile of rocks, which once had inhabitants now they are merely a pile of ruins where you feel the hand of barbarians has painted its image on it …… these volunteers endanger their own lives to assist people and save only few who still have a breath left of their bodies before they are perished from this nightmare. This humanitarian act revived us from the state that we were in and it touched our existence …………

People can choose to be either the victim of the world and yield in by breaking into pieces and collapsing under the claws of stress which is the case of lot of Lebanese, many people already developed panic attacks and collapsed or they can take the other side of the coin and proclaim this as a quest for peace, trying to make a difference in someone else’s life , by following the example of red cross volunteers.

It’s all a question of how people view things in life….

A group of AUB students majoring in health field organized a volunteer group to assist the deported refugees who already have chronic diseases but live in negligence and despair ……. Also they developed a plan to control spread of infectious diseases or breaking of an epidemic to prevent these poor people jumping from the frying pan into the boiling pot. Moreover, they prepared health teaching sessions to create awareness and fight infectious diseases at primary level of prevention. We need to take an initiative to start from somewhere and increase the circle like snowball effect to control the situation.

Their persistence encouraged a lot of students and medical Drs to get involved by joining hands to make a difference ……. For those of you who are interested in participating in this humanitarian act please contact: http://www.aub.edu.lb/challenge/help.html

Instead of feeling paralyzed you actually can help others, remember the choices you make the paths you take make all the difference, don’t be late in taking the right choice ……

How do you define the right choice? although i kinda agree with what you said, i still think that right and wrong is a subjective issue!

P.S did you try the new blogger beta? i am reluctant to try it

I totally agree with you because choice usually produces a reinforcement effect since it is correlated with differential consequences. It is always relative to the person and the situation .....

nop i didn't try the beta tell me a bit about it
