My Diary! What A Contradiction! (18+)

Yah! Am gonna talk about it today….

On day, I was at one of the clinics close to my house when I had an experience that promoted spontaneous reflections. A woman carrying a 22 week old pregnancy was rushed to the clinic. She was in a premature labour. Her family was ready to spend anything in monetary terms to save the endangered life of the baby. Eventually, despite all effort by the emergency medical team, the baby was expelled prematurely from the womb and died some minutes later due to respiratory complications. The weeping, mourning and grief that filled the air just for the loss of a little baby yet unborn was unimaginable. It was really pathetic....CONTINUE

However, just down the corridor in an adjacent room, on the same floor, another woman was comfortably having an abortion to terminate her pregnancy. Coincidentally, this second woman didn’t need her baby. In what seemed to be a twist of fate, she threatened to commit suicide should the doctor refuse to help her procure the abortion. She eventually prevailed on the physician by offering a huge amount in cash. Her baby was abortion.

Herein, lies the great contradictions. One woman is dying of grief because her baby has died, while another is threatening to commit suicide rather than let her baby live. One woman is ready to give everything she has to save her baby, while another will do same to kill hers. The question is, what would be each of the women think at encountering the other and hearing her story? Surely, each would think the other is insane.

“One man’s meat” they say “is another man’s poison”. But, if really what is good for the goose is also good for the gender, as we say, then why is it so different when it comes to such crucial existential issues as those involving human life? Why are our interests so ambivalent?

I believe we can only expose and find a befitting answer to the various contradictions that are ravaging our society, when we are able to unravel the puzzling mysteries of the human mind. Until then, we may continue to live in a world full of surprises and contradictions.
