Learning to Accept

I learned how to accept life as it is from my father.    1    .He dio not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy .but rather when he was    2   and ill.

My father was    3   a strong man who loved being active ,but a terrible illness    4   all that away.Now he can no longer walk.and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is    5   .One night,I went to cisit him with my sisters ,we started    6   about life,and I told them about one of my    7   .I said that we must always things up    8   .we grow-our youth.our beauty , our friends-but it always                 9    that after we give something up.We gain something new in its place.Then suddenly my father    10     up. He said ,”But,Petet.I gave up    11   ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought ,but I could not think of anything to say .   12   .he answered his own question :”I    13   the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters,and saw tears in their eyes,along with hope and thankfulness.

I was also    14   my his words.After that ,when I began to fell irritated (憤怒的)at someone.I    15   remember his words and become    16   .If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of live for others.then I should be    17   . to give up my small irritations.In this    18   ,I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

5、I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was 1994.but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday. “Kerrel,I don’t want you to take food from your father,because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him.”

AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on , I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together anymore .and my dad lived alone .For a while ,he could take care of himself .But when I was 12.his condition worsened .My father’s other children lived far away,so it fell to me to took after him.

We couldn’t afford all the all the necessary medition for him.and because Dad was unable to work .I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner .I would sit in class feeling completely lost ,the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.

I did not share my burden (負(fù)擔(dān))with anyone . I had seen people reacted to AIDS.Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease . And even adults could be cruel .When my father was moved to the hospital.the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.

I had known that he was going to die . but after so many years of keeping his condition a secrel . I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.That day ,she kept me on the phone for hours .I was so lucky to find someone who cared.She saved my life .

I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him.having never spoken about AIDS to anyone. Even me , he didn’t want to call attention to AIDS.I do.

4、“Poor but honest.” “The deserving(值得幫助的)poor.”There words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor.”But I also think of people who.perhaps through alcohol(酒) or drugs.have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure.Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction(上上)really are “diseases.”as many people say.but my own feeling-based,of course,not on any serious study-is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor.”And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars.

But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.”Deserving what?My spare change ?Or simple the govement’s assistance?It happens that  I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity(慈善機構(gòu)).but if I give some change to a beggar .am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone .or .am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help ?Or ,maybe even worse .am I supprting a cheat?

If one believes in the value of private charity. One can either give to needy people or to

charitable organizations.In giving to a beggar one may inded be helping a person who baly needs help.but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person.In giving to an organization, on the other hand,one can feel that one’s money is likely to be used wisely.True,facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment-a cup of coffee or a sandwich-and the need will not be met unless I put my pocket right now.But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change,and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.

I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer

begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actually meet. That’s why I do not give “spare change, “and I don’ think I will in the future.
