Grey’s Anatomy inspires me more to be a doctor.
As we go on living this life, we sometimes become so buried into the works and actions and things this life demands of us, we forget why are we doing it.
We have friends who have better lives than us. Or who we know WILL have better lives than us. Perhaps their career promises them a life of early graduation, a promising job that is more than sufficient to help them make a great living, to build a family, etc etc etc..
And perhaps, we imagine our lives to be more of a sacrifice, a lifetime commitment. Perhaps we have strings attached from our past, or strings that tie us to certain commitments, that we can’t let go, simply because, we’re tied.
But, what’s the point of having a life, full of comfort, but there are millions of others out there in hurt, desperation, pain, sorrow, hopeless? What meaning does it bring for us to be at the peak of fame and wealth? After all, are you living for yourself?
As I watched Grey’s, I was immersed in my myriad of depth, of giving myself to this life. To serve others. Instead of myself.
Human nature teaches us to put ourselves above others. Many don’t wanna be a doctor because of the years of studies, the exhaustion and commitments.
But, as we live, do we live and do things because we want others to see our good deeds and praise us?
Do we live because we want something in return? A big paycheck, our names in the papers, a public acknowledgement of our so called noble acts?
Or do we do it, simply because… we want to?
In school, we used to receive certificates and acknowledgements for our achievements.
But in the real world, sometimes, we get trashed and spitted on, although we did something we thought was good, but misconceptions turn the way around and make us the black sheep. Life isn’t what we want it is. Life is life.
It all points to why are we doing it.
Why do we love?
Because we want to.
Why do we share?
Because we love you.
Why do we give in our scarcity?
Because you don’t have enough.
Why do we empathize?
Because we feel you.
Why do we strive?
Because we want to give more.
Being in a position that gives you power to heal people physically, does not limit you to just there. It gives you opportunities to heal others emotionally, mentally. To bury yourself in their shoes, and cry with them, laugh with them, smile with them, celebrate joy with them.
People are hurting. Inside. It’s all beyond the physical eye.
We can heal one another by touching each other’s hearts.
Does it take someone to do you a heroic magnificent life-saving deed, for you to love them?
Does it take for others to love us first, before we love them?
God loved me before I was even formed in my mother’s womb.
Shall we pass on this love?
This love that expects nothing in return.
This love that goes the extra miles, no matter how much it costs.
This love that is not confined to those who loves you, but those who despises you.
This love that knows no hate.
This love that comes from a whole heart.
This love that heals you.
This love that completes.
This love came from One, who gave His all.
Shall we pass this on?
Let’s love with a sacrifice.
Let’s love with sincerity.
Let’s love even when it hurts.
Let’s love because we want to.
