"To the world, you may be one person. But to one person, you may the world"
We had our event our IMH this afternoon. Since last evening, we went over to put up the decoration etc. And I think I got 'hunted' numberous of activities that we had been handling and performing under stress; I even dreamt of the event.
Everyone was imaging the worst scenerio about IMH patients. Well, the 'country club members' were more well-behaved than our imagination. Nothing scary happened. Instead, they touched our hearts by performing, singing for us. Like "Ming Ming Bai Bai Wo De Xin" etc, we wondered whether the society or other factors like rejection had made them this way, cause they had such innocent hearts. What touches me was while giving out the snacks, this female patient asked whether I had eaten and wants to share food with me. And you think they will snatch everything from your hand, nope, when I gave the mooncakes, another told me 'No thank you cause I already received one in the ward'. They are more or less so pure, shaking hands and saying endless thank-you.
I am so surprised. Like what the seasonal volunteer mentioned, many of us may just go into depression or stress in our lives, it is just the margain that we did manage to pull through and for some, they didnt and for some, they are abandoned by their family or friends.
Like my header states, to some, we are really their world.
