There's no doubt that when we talk about cancer there is a series of words that come to mind such as strong, brave, courageous, heroic, warrior, fighter etc... I've also seen a bit of duscussion regarding whether this kind of terminology would br appropriatley applied to someone with cancer if they had no choice but to face the reality of their situation. As for me, I could give two shits what the word technically means, I'm not so shallow as to be more concerned about the definition of a word than what it actually means to the person that it's being applied to. I heard some people say that it inspires those who are living with cancer to not give up and keep on going. But the other side is that it's a coping mechanism for those who aren't sick because it adds meaning to something that in reality is meaningless and all devouring. The thought that a loved one could have gone through all that pain and agony for no purpose is one that many find unbearable so they rationalize it by portraying is as a brave and heroic struggle because the reality is too much to bear. But not only that but putting people afflicted with cancer on a pedastil and idolizing them allows those who are not sick to put the notion that that could just as easily be them to the back of their heads by saying it's a brave fight that these heroic few face. And the problem that I have with the use of it as a coping mechanism for the not sick is that yes, pain sucks, but we feel it for a reason; it lets us know something is wrong. Sure some relief is good like giving morphine to someone who's terminal and dying a painful death but it can be also detrimental like passengers on a ship sitting there and being soothed by the band when the ship goes down. And if people were to face the horrid reality of cancer instead of sugra coating it with these labels I can't help but feel there would be a greater call to action for things like universal health care and better treatment.

I love them but I really don't like them. They help me out with school and everything they are good hearted people. Never abused. They are just sort of weak. My dad grew up with an alcoholic father who used to beat him and was very disciplined. My dad is the opposite. He never kicked me ass in and taught me discipline. He pretty much let me do whatever I wanted and I felt I had no guidance. Today my dad is getting older. He works and moans and bitches about money all the time. He is just getting old and is tired I guess. He literally does nothing but eat fast food work and lay on the couch. No house projects nothing. He also seems to forget so many things. He never went to college but he does make good money. I think slightly over 100,000 a year. But we are so far in debt. It's almost like he has no sense of what he is doing when it comes to finances. Our house is falling a part and we barely scrap by.

My mother is a good person too. She always loved me. She is a type A personality. She has become very lazy over the years. She doesn't really do anything around the house and just takes care of her self. She bitches and moans about things that are out my control. I think she just does it to hear the own sound of her voice. She lays all the weight on my father.'

My sister is another story. I'm sorry but she is a loser.. She has very overweight and has become a jesus freak. She has the mindset of jesus will get her out of her depression yet she doesn't do anything her self. She is very weak minded and has no ability to think on her own. She has my parents pay her debts and she lives at home and has no money what so ever at the age of 25 lol. She tells me I'm going to hell all the time because I'm agnostic after I've respectfully asked her to not bring up the topic. She has temper tantrums at the age of 25. It's just ridiculous. She is like the definition of a fuck up who never made it. I don't filter my thoughts about her anymore. I tell her she is
