Cancer: A destiny or fate OR just dying young?

The cure for cancer & other "incurable" diseases has been known for a very long time already & this has been the subject of a very good My Lot discussion by a very worthy, exemplary author : http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2411261.aspx?p=1 You may still add your own comments there as the author is a relatively quick responder who is quite active on My Lot. To answer your question, cancer is simply the "effect" in "cause & effect". So, if you want to use terms to summarize it, I guess the Sanskrit word "karma" would cover it better than the often misunderstood term "sin", but I can speak here in those terms if you wish. In the Holy Bible, God presented us with his ideal plan for this world from the very beginning. He sent many prophets into this world to remind us time & time again how we should be living our lives. He gave the commandments to Moses & specifically instructed us not to kill any living being, if we use the correct Hebrew translation. Yet every day, three times a day or more, people are murdering the animals entrusted to our care, for our companionship, just to satisfy their palates. So of course it is sin; it's a direct violation of God's commandment, which God issued to us for our own benefit whilst here on this earth. Cancer is just one of a huge array of the consequences of our actions.

I don't have cancer but I have seen how it afflict others. A young wife lost her husband to leukemia and I have seen other survive. But it is not just cancer taking loved ones away, it could be anything (natural disasters, heart attacks, etc). We live in a fallen world anyway. Destiny, fate, dying young? I don't know. Those who are gone are gone. Those who are here, I think the lesson is just make our journey and time here worthwhile. Well, at least I have a friend in you. Cheer up, buddy.

There are lots of reason for having CA. One is hereditary that is already on the genes. Another reason is,bad diet or not healthy way of living. Some reasons caused by the environment (polluted,chemicals and etc) If it is destiny or fate,then,maybe there is still a reason behind it. We may not understand,but i believed there is always reason for everything,it might be good or bad.

It isn't fate nor destiny. for me cancer is brought to us by overload of junks in our body, fatty foods, cholesterol and even toxic that we have gotten from those food of which chemical contents we are not familiar with could be carcinogens. You can add to that the rapid increase of pollutants all over us, in the air, water, name it, it is everywhere. We are not destined to get cancers or any deadly disease. However, we abuse the blessings of nature and thus, we are only paying the price, a sad and yet very high price....

yes..it happens due to many reasons as you told. It is so miserable condition and our scientists and doctors must invent new techniwues to crub these cancer causes and make all of our friends and relatives quite good again..to make them healthy.
