Don't Waste Your Suffering

Don't Waste Your Misery

Whatever pain you suffer, don't waste it away. Turn it for good. A wife in China discovered that her husband kept a mistress. She collected evidence abou this affair and successfully file for divorce. Now she started an all female detective agency in her war against wife beaters and unfaithful husbands. Wife-beaters of Chengdu, watch out!

A man lost his dear son to a kidnapper. Out of pain and vengeance, he channeled his anger by starting the America's Most Wanted programme and put the evil ones behind bar.

A mother lost his child to a drunken driver and started MADD - Mothers against Drunk Drivers, to raise awareness of the danger of drunk driving.

A mother in Singapore lost his son to leukemia and started the Bone Marrow Bank.

These are instances of movements that are not started by the government or companies, but by the average individual, driven by a need to right a wrong, to raise awareness. These are not individuals who are armed with degrees or the money. They are driven by the passion deep in their heart. They are driven by the the tears of sorrow. That in their pain, others may find healing and comfort.
