Humanity

Being a witness to war in my native country, has had an immense impact on my desire to be a physician. At an early age I could not comprehend why some people want to destroy life, peace and beauty. To this day I do not have an explanation why some people chose to commit atrocities against their neighbors, their fellow mankind. All I know and knew for a long time, is that I want to be part of the action that restores back the humanity that some deliberately choose to exterminate. I went back to my native country shortly after the war ended, and I saw unimaginable destitute and destruction. It seemed to me that every other person I saw sitting on the streets was an amputee, however, everyone although hopelessly looking at the destruction, undoubtedly was happy to be alive. I heard doctors telling stories of how they risked their own lives day in and out while attempting to save lives of their fellow mankind, without enough medications, without technology and in worse conditions possible. Back then I realized that most people that I saw on the streets are still alive because of the courage of these doctors. That to me was beautiful and humane.
Health and peace are the most important aspects of our lives. Most things money can buy, and most things can be overcome physically and/or psychologically by us human beings. But when the health is in jeapordy, there is no quick remedy that can change things for the better. Peace, is also vital. Peace is part of each and every one chipping in and making our communities a better place. We are all just one tiny part of the whole universe. Just as billions, trillions of atoms make a whole. Although I have to play my part, absolutely alone I cannot bring peace to a country or a community. But I can make sure that I provide the best health care possible to my patients so that they may lead happy and healthy lives. In this way I am part of the humanity in which people help others. But my passion is in helping people regain their health. If one lives healthy they also will be psychologically/physically happy.
