Illness Or Disease

Whether human beings or animals
No one can  pretend to be totally free from diseases

Young or old; rich or poor; black or white
All of us are prone to be affected by it.

Ever since the creation of the world
The environment is constantly invaded by micro- organisms

Which makes all creatures vulnerable to sufferings
Innumerable health hazards surround us

A single attack can cause disequilibrium
Some are inborn while others are acquired

Bringing an imbalance in our daily life
Be it physical, mental or psychological

All of them interfere in our daily activities
Even with the extensive development of science

Medicine has its limits
If some illnesses are curable

A few of them are still incurable(HIV).
Many patients recover quite easily

But others have to fight till the last breath
Many diseases are linked with modern life style

And also associated with climatic changes
We must be morally and physically conditioned

To adapt with their impacts

Failure to cope with the situation
Will eventually lead us to depression

We have no other alternative
Than to consider it as our destiny

Because from birth to death 
Disease is part and parcel of life
