My annoyance

Last night i was on facebook when I noticed a status which read "Put this on your status if you know someone who has or has had cancer. I wish for a cure of cancer. 93% wont copy and paste this.. will you?".

To which i put mine as "isnt in the mood and is likely to pick fights with stupid **** like chain statuses... just saying you know someone who died from something doesnt mean that because you put that there their going find a cure! Fact! Just like the fact, if you click your fingers a child in africa wont die... got it? Good!"

This is one of the things that really annoys me. Wishing for a cure of cancer isnt going to help find a cure. Expressing support for someone with cancer is one thing but chain statuses like those mean nothing. Its just words, none personal dribble. What is this wishing for a cure? I want a cure for cancer, but wishing for one isnt going to help. Pure fact!

I know a handful of people who have died from cancer, my dad and aunt are two of them. I also know a few people who have had cancer. So dont see this as im ragging on cancer supporters because im not. Im simply saying that to wish for a cure is useless. Do something about it, like hold a carboot sale and donate the proceedes to cancer research or to a specialised cancer hospital for equipment. There are alot of ways these so called "supporters" could do something to help towards a cure, and yet they choose words not actions. I was once told actions speek louder than words.

Rest in peace Dad & Aunty Margerate!
Aloha au iaoe, a hui hou!
Aloha all of my ohana!
