ODP: Just a thought or two about the phrase my cancer or my dis-ease....

[Guest guest]

Hi,

it's true. I agree. Many people want disease, want to be weak. Their

families, friends take care about them and disease grows up.

More ill people need diseases to many reasons (money, love, care,

attention).

Best wishes,

Gosia
