Cancer Is Like War?

a: Cancer ~
b: war

What: "Perhaps fighting cancer is like the Vietnamese war? I have maintained that treating cancer based on the concept of war would never succeed! If doctors wage an unending war within the body - what do you think happens to the battleground (your body!)? Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy etc. are advanced, mighty "fire power." Cancer cells are just tiny enemies floating and circulating around in the blood stream that later attach themselves to certain tissues of the body. Can these awesome treatments destroy all cancerous cells yet at the same time not destroy the host i.e., you and your living systems? Are we healing the sick body or are we creating more Vietnam, Hiroshima and Iraq?"

Don't Be Mean

a: Midlife crisis ~
b: putting a match to gas

What: "Respectfully, I hope this is a joke. Being bitchy and entitled to a man in real midlife crisis is like putting a match to gas. They are already cracking under the stresses/pressures of life. I would say if you want your midlife crisis husband to have an affair/snap/leave you, then put your foot down and insist on your way or the highway, because that's what you can expect. "

With Within Within
