 <hr> I saw a video of someone on Facebook who said they were battling stage 4 cancer. I am not a medical doctor, but I know that those stages of cancer (depending on location) are serious. However, they appeared to be in good health, with no shaved hair to indicate chemotherapy, no weight loss, no skin color changes, and so on. The surprising thing is that this person was exercising in the hospital room, making tiktok videos, and doing a variety of other enjoyable activities. Perhaps they believed their doctor was working on a cure, or perhaps it was a more realistic hope in God's miracles, or perhaps they had given up hope. However, when people give up on life due to terminal illnesses, it is difficult to see them doing fun things. They probably want to get their house in order, take care of a few things, and start preparing for the inevitable day. However, many people reacted differently to the various battles of life. When you have been through so much hurt and pain, the mind seems to rewire itself to feel numb the more pain you have to endure. ## What's impossible with modern medicine? Modern medicine generally states that some things are possible while others are not. The liver is said to be able to regenerate and heal itself, but once damaged, the nephrons in the kidney cannot heal. So, if almost every part of the body can heal, why is it only the kidneys that can't? The truth is that science is learning to understand the human body, which is a vastly complex machine that is more complex than current technology, despite advances in research, technology, and medicine. Some medical condition management was discovered unintentionally rather than engineered in the lab; however, I believe humanity is 100 to 200 years away from discovering more elusive answers. In my opinion, kidneys can heal; we just have not discovered how. HIV was a death sentence 50 years ago, but not anymore. Some diagnoses are intended to be fatal and severe, based on current medical knowledge. However, it is not uncommon for people to recover from situations that were previously thought to be fatal. According to statistics, there are people who should not be alive due to their medical conditions, but they are; to modern medicine, this makes no sense, demonstrating that the human body remains a mystery that is difficult to fully comprehend. This isn't to say the human body can beat all odds, but it can beat some odds and the reasons why it can, even when it's supposed to be dead and nonfunctioning is still not completely understood. The advancement of modern medicine means that there is always an answer or cure somewhere, but we have not found it yet, as many things remain impossible at the moment. > So, what hope do you have when there is nothing to tap into? *An interesting question that varies* This is the same question I asked myself when I saw the stage 4 cancer warrior. It did not appear that they were spiritual people, so I do not see any hope that could have been drawn from the Almighty God. My conclusion is that they may believe they will be able to recover against all odds. Perhaps they are keeping their hopes alive because failing to do so would result in them falling into a rabbit hole of depression and losing their mind. Perhaps they cry when their phone is turned off and choose to use their channel to encourage others with the same diagnosis. ## Medical Depression People do not realize that medical depression is the most severe type of depression. They believe it is money, but in reality, it is not. People can live enjoyable lives without money, but being unable to live a healthy life in a chronic state is the most severe form of depression, and others are simply not bad enough. So having hope in the face of adversity is one of the most powerful things you can do. There is no one as strong as someone who is forced to choose between strength and depression. People thrive when they have a variety of options in life, but we struggle when we have few options. For me, my hope is in God. I see the statistics, the prognosis, and the odds, but I never lose hope. <hr> <hr> > **Interested in some more of my posts** <hr> <hr> ##### [Why Is the grind getting harder?](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/why-is-the-grind-getting-harder) ##### [Monopoly Is the Death of Civilization](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/monopoly-is-the-death-of-civilization) ##### [Survival: Choas and Scarcity](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/survival-choas-and-scarcity) ##### [Crypto: Gut & meaningful Connections](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/crypto-gut-and-meaningful-connections) ##### [What is the primary barrier to entry in Web3?](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/what-is-the-primary-barrier-to-entry-in-web3-dfo) ##### [What Are Some Things You Should not Do During A Bull Market Year?](https://hive.blog/hive-146620/@josediccus/what-are-some-things-you-should-not-do-during-a-bull-market-year-fbh) <hr>
