AIDS VICTIMS? RETWEET PLZ

I wanted to go more into the thoughts I was sharing in the video I made today. I spoke about changing your thoughts and terminology when speaking about people with AID/HIV.

I always hear people that consider themselves being supportive calling these people Victims. I don't think that any one dealing with this condition sees themselves as a victim. Although people become infected and impacted in many different ways and are at varying states of health there are no victims. Much like cancer its something that must be dealt with.

Victims have a defeatist attitude and just like with cancer or any other life changing illness you have to have the attitude of a warrior and a overcomer in order to deal with the changes something like this will bring to your life.

Think about the words you use. People with any illness don't need your pity or you to feel sorry for them I am sure your support would be much more appreciated.

The mind and body are so very connected no one needs to hear or be reminded just how bad their life is and actually that's only your opinion. In talking with many people they often have told me I rather be here dealing with this than dead from it.

Let's learn today how to truly be encouraging and supportive. People with HIV/AIDS cancer or anything else rarely have days when their day is totally consumed with their conditions. Life still must go on there are families to raise, jobs to go to bills to pay and so forth.

So I say to you today there are no victims except those that give up on life.

Take care my pumpkins
