چکیده
During our whole life, we spend so much energy on thoughts to obtain what we consider essential for a so called “perfect life” with no suffering. We wish the brand-new car model, fancy clothes that hide the body we are not proud of, save money for plastic surgeries to correct imperfections and overwork. On the opposite way of all that we seek, something unexpected, like a disease can happen. Causing, for some, anger, discouragement, incomprehension, while for others, an opportunity of growth, forgiveness, reunion, redefinition [1,2].
