Giving Something Back to Society

Isn't it a wonderful thing if we were born a philanthropist?
Always having this need to give and to give and to contribute
Hoping that we will make a difference in society
So that the future of our children and our children's children is secured

The place that I work at right now allows me to contribute to society. I can give my all. I can sacrifice my weekends to preach and teach and make them take their health seriously. But how well do they take it? How far do they hold to the idea? I'm having trouble as it is talking to difficult patients. They drive me nuts, that sometimes I just keep my mouth shut and pretend to listen to their lousy excuses for not taking their meds or for not coming to the clinic as appointed. Then they with their sullen faces will leave the clinic and probably won't be coming back. To hell with modern medicine they will say. 'We'll stick to our trusted home remedy and air akar kayu to manage our blood pressure and diabetes!' they chant in unison.
