Annoying illness…
Blog posts have been a bit low the past few days, been laid up with an illness, and to be honest with you, just didn’t fancy writing any content – sorry!
But now I am back to almost my best and my illness got me thinking. There are so many illnesses, diseases and medicial problems across the world that we are still no closer to finding a cure for, in some cases there are just no funds available for additional research programs. I am sure most of us have been affected by the tragic loss of someone to cancer or some other illness or disease.
Imagine what good could be done for humanity if some or all of these diseases could be cured, so that we could all live healthier and happier lives. Well take a moment and think about this instead, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States it seems that whilst research funds are limited, this is in stark contrast to the American Military Machine, a machine that has been primed to kill.
It seems that budgets in some countries put a much bigger emphasis on the ability to destroy mankind, as opposed to its ability to help mankind. I don’t entirely blame America for this, they are far from alone, they are perhaps just the biggest spender of military dollars. What is sad is that all countries live in fear, so scared of being attacked that too much money is put into different ways to kill each other instead of better ways to heal ourselves.
So whilst I think about the past few days lost to illness, I think to what might have been cured, had only 10% of the American Military Budget been available for research into diseases.
