(霹靂‧怡保)中年单身汉脊椎骨生肿瘤,急需2万令吉动手术,通过星洲日报基金会向大家求助,希望大家帮助他脱离痛苦。

后来,又检查到癌细胞扩散到脊椎,已订在7月7日进入马大医院,并於7月8日动手术割除肿瘤。

5年来饱受病痛折磨

他说,在患病5年来,饱受病痛折磨,尤其是腰椎痛发作时,那股痛楚更有如刺骨般难受,甚至痛得彻夜不眠,十分痛苦。

“通常我要爬起身时,会感到脊椎特别疼痛,希望这一次动了手术后,能一劳永逸解除痛楚。”

Lincoln and the helpless little creature

Lincoln and the helpless little creature - by CJ

Lincoln and the helpless little creature - by CJ

“I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.”
– Abraham Lincoln

In reply to friends who chided him for delaying them by stopping to return a fledgling to its nest.

Compassion is how a mother’s tender heart quivers at the pain and suffering of her child when the child is sick. A mother is willing to do anything to alleviate her child’s suffering. As with boundless love, we also develop compassion to all beings who suffer pain and despair. A compassionate person cannot possibly be cruel to any being.

Love is the greatest kindness of all is a mother’s boundless, unconditional and protective love for her child. If we can shower a mother’s love on all living beings, our love would be boundless, unconditional and non-discriminatory. It’s boundless because we are reaching out to all beings. It is unconditional because we do not love with conditions attached or expectations of rewards or reciprocation. It is non-discriminatory, and this means it is given to all and not through selective choice or to one more than the other.

If we realize that all beings are subject to same vulnerability and mortality where all of us suffer from pain and eventual death, and all of us also appreciate being loved and cared for, then it makes sense to extend our love to all beings boundlessly, unconditionally and without discrimination. Just as we love our family and friends, let us widen our circle of love and kindness, and extend these feelings of goodwill and caring to encompass all living beings.

Chimpanzee mothers carry their mummified dead infants

Recently at Discovery News we told you how chimpanzees confront death. They do so in ways that are very similar to our behavior toward dying friends and relatives.

On the surface, it might at first seem that chimpanzee mothers break from those noted similarities. When their offspring die as infants, the mothers will continue to carry and groom the dead bodies until the mothers are able to gradually let go of them. By that time, the infant’s body has usually mummified.

The behavior likely mirrors, at least to some extent, the biophysical reaction of human mothers when they too lose young sons or daughters. Right after birth, the mother’s body is hormonally, and in many other ways, ready to care for the infant. Even after a baby dies, the physical connection can take time to adjust. This isn’t even taking into account the emotional bond.

Chimpanzees go through this adjustment period in a very literal way, by continuing to provide care for their deceased infants.

日AV女优苍井空盼为青海做事 微博筹款赈灾

日本超人气AV女优苍井空

日本AV女优苍井空 (Aoi Sola)

在中国拥有大批粉丝的日本AV女优苍井空,周五(23日)在推特(Twitter)宣布,拟发起为青海灾民筹款的活动,让中国粉丝们大为感动。苍井空说,自从得悉青海发生大地震后,她的心情一直非常难过,希望自己能为青海做点事。

日本知名的AV艺人苍井空,虽然已从AV界退除役,但大家对她之前的「专业」表现,仍是念念不忘;11日苍井空突然开始玩起推特,先是被中国推友眼尖发现后转推,Followers就不断飙升追随。

根据《福州新闻网》报导,26岁苍井空因为注册推特,让整个中文推特族群热血沸腾,不管男女都在讨论苍井空。不过因中国有网路管制,且由於苍井空为知名AV女优,属於情色类内容,无论是推特还是苍井空的新闻,都是禁止浏览。

对於苍井空准备为玉树地震募捐,有中国网民说,「(她)只用日语写了博文,没有更新中文的博客。显然是针对日本人,而不想增加中国粉丝的负担。心思之细腻和善良可见一斑。她还说下一步希望休假一段时间,能为中国地震做些事情……这样好的姑娘,太赞了。」
