看看那細微而慈悲的心，如何呈現在苦難的人間！
南斯拉夫爆發科索沃內戰，德蕾莎去問負責戰爭的指 揮官，說戰區裡的婦女兒童都逃不出來，
指揮官跟她這樣講：“修女啊，我想停火，對方不停 啊，沒有辦法。”
德蕾莎說：“那麼，只好我去了！”德蕾莎走進戰區 ，雙方一聽說德蕾莎修女在戰區，雙方立刻停火，當 她把戰區裡的婦女兒童帶出後，兩邊又打起來了。
讓人由衷的敬仰和讚嘆。
美國國務卿希拉里曾說，我幫德蕾莎修女提鞋都不配 。
德蕾莎修女生於1910年8月26日，12歲時，她立志當修 女。19歲時她進入修道院，被命名為德蕾莎修女。後 來她被派往印度。德蕾莎修女18歲就來到印度，之後 就再沒有離 開那裡。
1952年夏，為窮人找到愛與尊嚴，她在印度加爾各答 建立“ 垂死者之家”。
一個18歲的姑娘，自己都居無定所，而她每天做的事 ，就是推著小車在垃圾堆裡、水溝裡、教堂門口、公 共建築 的台階上，去揀回那些奄奄一息的病人、被遺 棄的嬰孩、垂死的老人，然後到處去找吃的餵他們， 找藥給他們治 病，求醫生來幫助他們……
許多人親眼看見德蕾莎修女從水溝裡抱起被蛆吃掉一 條腿的乞丐，看見她把額頭貼在瀕死的病人的臉上， 看見她 從一條狗的嘴裡搶下還在哭叫的嬰兒，看見她 把愛滋病患者緊緊地摟在懷裡，告訴他：耶穌愛你， 他在天上等你 ……
1979年，德蕾莎修女獲得諾貝爾和平獎。
她身穿一件只值一美元的印度紗麗走上了領獎台。不 論是和總統會面還是服侍窮人，她都穿著這件衣服， 她沒有 別的衣服。
台下坐著珠光寶氣、身份顯赫的貴人，她視而不見， 她的眼中只有窮人。
台下立刻鴉雀無聲。“這個榮譽，我個人不配，我是 代表世界上所有的窮人、病人和孤獨的人來領獎的， 因為 我相信，你們願意藉著頒獎給我，而承認窮人也 有尊嚴。”
德蕾莎修女這樣說。以窮人的名義領獎，是因為她一 生都以窮人的名義活著。
當她知道諾貝爾獎頒獎大會的宴席要花7000美金時， 她懇求大會主席取消宴席，她說：“你們用這些錢只 宴請 135人，而這筆錢夠15000人吃一天。”宴會被取 消了，修女拿到這筆錢，同時還拿到了40萬瑞幣的捐 款。
那個被所有人仰慕的諾貝爾獎牌也被她賣掉了，所得 售款連同獎金全部獻給了窮人。
對她來說，那些獎牌如果不變成錢為窮人服務就一錢 不值。
從1928年德蕾莎修女隻身到印度到1980年，她的同工 超過了13.9萬，分佈於全世界。她的同工沒有任何待 遇，連證件都沒有，他們不需要這些東西，他們唯一 要做的就是犧牲和奉獻。
她創建的仁愛傳教修女會有4億多美金的資產。但是， 她一生卻堅守貧困，她住的地方只有兩樣電器：電燈 和電話。 她的全部財產是一尊耶穌像、3套衣服、一 雙涼鞋。
她努力要使自己成為窮人，為了服務最窮的人，她的 修士、修女們都要把自己變成窮人，只有如此，被他 們服務的 窮人才會感到尊嚴。在她看來，給予愛和尊 嚴比給予食物和衣服更為重要。
她在全世界的127個國家有600多個分支機構，她用最 快的速度、最高的效率在全世界發展慈善機構，僅在 1960年 一年內，她就在印度建起了26所收容中心和兒 童之家。
但是她的總部只有兩個修女和一台老式打字機。她的 辦公室裡只有一個桌子，一把椅子，她接待全世界的 來訪者 總是在她的工作崗位上：平民窟、棄嬰院、臨 終醫院、麻風病院、收容院、愛滋病收容所……
在她那裡服務的有銀行家、大企業家、政治家、大學 生、演員、模特、富家小姐、美國加州州長……
台灣李家同也千里迢迢去那裡，做了他一輩子沒有做 過的事情：洗碗、給病人穿衣服、餵水餵飯、洗衣服 、送藥、 搬運屍體……之後，他寫道：“現在我才知 道，我一直在躲避著人類的真正窮困和不幸，其實我 從來沒有真正愛過。
後來南斯拉夫爆發科索沃內戰，德蕾莎去問負責戰爭 的指揮官，說戰區裡的婦女兒童都逃不出來， 指揮官 跟她這樣講：“修女啊，我想停火，對方不停啊，沒 有辦法。”
德蕾莎說：“那麼，只好我去了！”德蕾莎走進戰區 ，雙方一聽說德蕾莎修女在戰區，雙方立刻停火，當 她把戰 區裡的婦女兒童帶出後，兩邊又打起來了。這 個消息後來傳到了聯合國。聯合國秘書長安南聽到這 則消息讚歎道：這件事連我也做不到。之前，聯合國 曾調停了好幾次，南斯拉夫的內戰始終沒有停火，德 蕾莎走進去之後雙方卻能立刻自動停火，可見 德蕾莎 的人格魅力。
德蕾莎在印度逝世後，她的祖國塞爾維亞希望她能回 國歸葬，印度總理特意為此打電話給塞爾維亞領導人 ，讓她 安葬在印度，後來塞爾維亞同意把她安葬在印 度。
她的去世，被印度人視作“ 失去了母親”。
印度總理說：她是少有的慈悲天使，是光明和希望的 象徵，她抹去了千千萬萬人苦難的眼淚，她給印度帶 來了巨 大的榮譽。
印度為德蕾莎舉行了國葬。出殯那天，她身上覆蓋的 是印度國旗，就在她的遺體被12個印度人抬起來時， 在場的 印度人全部下跪，包括當時的印度總理。遺體 抬過大街時，大街兩旁大樓上的印度人全下樓來，跪 在地上，向這位愛的天使表達最高的敬意

overnight hospital stays-Obama care for the edlers
vernight hospital stays-Obama care for the elders
It is true that there is death panel clause in Obama care.
overnight hospital stays
This is a "must read" to know how Affordable care works, especially if
you have older folks at home living with you!
Thought you would like to know.
A must know for all of us who are approaching, or over 70
Letter from a senior gentleman in Mesa , Arizona :
Dear Family, and Friends
Ijust found myself in the middle of a medical situation that made it
Very clear that "the Affordable Care Act" is neither affordable, nor
Do they care.
I'll go back about seven years ago to a fairly radical prostate
Surgery that I underwent. The Urologist (a personal Friend) who
Performed the surgery was very concerned that it was cancer, though I
Wasn't told this until the lab report revealed it was benign.
Since that procedure, I have experienced numerous urinary tract
Infections, UTI's. Since I had never had a "UTI" prior to the prostate
surgery, I assumed
That it is one of the side effects from surgery, an assumption since
Confirmed by my Family Doctor.
The weekend of March 8-9, I was experiencing all the symptoms of
Another bout of UTI. By Monday afternoon the infection had hit with
Full force. Knowing that all I needed was an antibiotic, I went to an
Urgent Care
Center in Mesa , AZ , to provide a specimen a requirement for getting
The prescription.
After waiting 45 minutes to see the Doctor, I started getting very
Nauseous and light headed.
I went to the Receptionist to ask where the bathroom was, as I felt
That I was going to throw up. I was told that I would have to wait for
The Doctor because I would have to leave a specimen and they didn't
Want me in the bathroom without first seeing him.
That was when the lights went out. My next awareness was that of
Finding myself on the floor (in the waiting room) having violent dry
Heaves, and very confused. At this point, I tried to stand up but
Couldn't make it, and they made it very clear they weren't going to
Let me get up until the ambulance got there. By the way, when you're
Waiting to see the Doctor and you pass out, you get very prompt
Attention.
Now, "the rest of the story", and the reason for sending this to so many of
You.
I was taken to the nearest hospital, to emergency. Once there, I was
Transported to an emergency examination room. Once I had removed my
Clothes and donned one of those lovely hospital gowns, I finally got
To see a Doctor. I asked "what is going on? I'm just having a UTI.
Just get me the
Proper medication and let me go home." He told me that my symptoms
Presented the possibility of sepsis, a potentially deadly migration of
Toxins, and that they needed to run several tests to determine how far
The infection had migrated.
For the next 3 hours I was subjected to several tests, blood draws,
EKG's, and demands for specimens. At about 7:30 the nurse came back to
My room to inform me that one of the tests takes 1- 2 days to
Complete. I asked if they (the results) could be emailed, at which
Point she informed me that I wouldn't need them emailed because I
Wasn't going anywhere. I started arguing with her, but was told, "If
You don't start behaving, I'll start taking your temperature
Rectally," at which point I became a perfect gentleman. I did tell her
I wanted to see the doctor because I had no intention of staying
Overnight.
Now, this is what I want each of you to understand. Please read these
Next sentences carefully. The doctor finally came in to inform me that
He was going to admit me. I said, "Are you admitting me for treatment
Or for observation?" He told me that I would be admitted for
observation. I said, "Doctor,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you admit me for observation, my
Medicare will not pay anything. This due to the Affordable Care Act."
He said, "That's right, it won't."
I then grabbed for my bag of clothing and said, "Then I'm going home."
He said you're really too sick to be going home, but I understand your
Position. This health program is going to hit seniors especially hard.
The doctor then left the room and I started getting dressed. I was
Just getting ready to put my shoes on when another doctor (the closer)
Came into the room. He saw me dressed and said, "Where do you think
You are going?" I simply said "I'm going home." To which he replied,
quite vociferously, "No you aren't. I said, "Doc, you and I both know
that under the "Affordable Care Act" anyone on Medicare who is
admitted to a hospital for observation will be responsible for the
bill. Medicare won't pay a cent."
At which point he nodded in affirmation. I said, "You will either
admit me for a specific treatment or you won't admit me." Realizing he
wasn't going to win this one, he said he would prepare my release
papers. A few minutes later, the discharge nurse came to my room to have me
sign the necessary papers, relieving them from any responsibility. I
told her I wasn't trying to be obstinate, but I wasn't going to be
burdened with the full (financial) responsibility for my hospital
stay.
After making sure the door was closed, she said, "I don't blame you at
all, I would do the same thing." She went on to say, "You wouldn't
believe the people who elect to
leave for the same reasons, people who are deathly sick, people who
have to be wheeled out on a gurney." She further said, "The
'Affordable Care Act' is going to be a disaster for seniors. Yet, if
you are in this country illegally, and have no coverage, you will be
covered in full."
This is not internet hype folks, this is real. I just experienced it
personally. Moving right along, this gets worse.
Today I went to a (required) follow up appointment with my Arizona
Family Practitioner. Since my white count was pretty high, the follow
up was important. During the visit, I shared the experience at
emergency, and that I had refused to be admitted. His response was, "I
don't blame you at all, I would have done the same thing." He went on
to say that the colonoscopy and other procedures are probably going to
be dropped from coverage for those over 70."
I told him that I had heard that the "Affordable Care Act" would no
longer pay for cancer treatment for those 76 and older, is that true?
His understanding is that it is true. The more I hear, and experience
the Affordable Care Act, the more I'm
beginning to see that we seniors are nothing more than an
inconvenience, and the sooner they can get rid of us the better off
they'll be.
We can have an impact on this debacle by letting everyone in Congress
know that their responsibility is to the constituents, not the
president and not the lobbyists. We need to let them ALL know that
they are in office to serve and to look after the BEST INTERESTS of
"we the people," their employers, and not to become self serving
bureaucrats who serve only out of greed. And if they don't seem to
understand this simple logic, we'll fire them.
REMEMBER:
Demand your hospital admission is for TREATMENT and NOT for OBSERVATION!
SEND THIS TO EVERY SENIOR AND ALL MILITARY (ACTIVE OR VET) AND LET
THEM KNOW THIS IS HOW OUR REPRESENTATIVES ON CAPITOL HILL TREAT THOSE
WHO RISK IT ALL SO THEY CAN SIT UP THERE AND ENJOY ALL THE BENEFITS
WHILE THEY ARE EXEMPT UNLIKE THE REST OF US.
WE ARE "MAD AS HELL" AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

此 video是一瑞典人，他是位異人。
在2012年8-10月間一共3次爬上瑞士最有名的高山El Matterhorn
(高4477,5公 尺)。
為了拍製此片，他曾夜宿高2700公尺，攝氏零下12º C之處，在此處無城市燈光污染，天空無比的原美！
不知道經過多長的時間才有辦法製作一部4分鐘的短片，
