There is this slope in front of Chamber Numbers MB-G-081 and MB-G-082 in the Hospital, leading to paediatric section. The slope is created to facilitate the children and patients who are wheelchair bound or have to walk with crutches.

While it's easy to take wheelchair on the slope as compared to the stairs, but it's not all that easy for those thin/slim young mother's whose 5-15 year old kid is in great pain and has to be taken on wheelchair to the doctor's chamber.

Have been watching people use this slope for past five years now.

You see young mothers slowly walking backwards, holding the wheelchair with all their strength to have better control while coming down the slope, a kid in his teens with great pain walking up/down the slope with his crutches, 4-5 year old kids walking up/down with those masks and heavy bandages on their arms and your heart is bound to melt.

But sheer grit of these young mothers, help them do all that they would not otherwise be able to do. The young 13-14 year old lad walking with crutches asking people to move aside and that sense of immense confidence on his face. Small kids with masks on their faces and bandages on their arms, playing on the same slope as if they are in the backyard of their home. 

All these people (the young mothers, teen age boys and girls and the kids) make you believe that pain and suffering is a state of mind. It is, at the end of the day, all about how you handle it and how you don't allow it to overpower you.

If you allow it to rule you, it will spell disaster for you. If you confront it with grit and will, it cannot defeat you, irrespective of its gravity. 

Yes medicines and treatments help you defeat the disease, the grit and will-power makes the process faster and bearable.
