                                                     A cancer is a disease which can 

                                                      appear in many ways.

                                                     It is never just the mutation
                                                     of living cells. 
 
                                                     It can be the attitude of someone
                                                     about a person he considers beneath
                                                     him, mistreatment of an individual
                                                     or a marginalized group of  people,
                                                     discounting someone because
                                                     he is different, charity 
                                                     and generosity attached with
                                                     horrible conditions, 
                                                     dirty  secrets kept and
                                                     used against certain people,
                                                     cold unfeeling rules created
                                                     by a certain system, 
                                                     everything used to keep 
                                                     someone in place and strangle
                                                     the life right out of the person.
 
                                                     A neighbor of mine is dying from
                                                     one form of cancer and at times
                                                     I feel as if I am slowly dying from
                                                     another.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on August 16, 2024
Bad behavior is a cancer like any other when it grows to the point of causing misery like you have described so well in so few words.

Politicians with their greed disguised by catchy slogans easily reveal what they're really about. Not caring who they offend along the way or leave groveling in the dirt when they have the power to stop it. Even immediately by just changing their attitude.

Ron
