Synopsis
What do you do with your life when you’ve hit rock bottom? In life, there are times when you hit a low point. It could be caused by money problems, relationship problems, children problems, an unexpected accident, or health problems. The list goes on and on. But what compels us to hang onto a strand of hope in such times of despair when ending one’s life could stop the pain and darkness? We live in a world where there is a price for everything, even human life. Most people probably know this by now and it’s a plain fact that just because people are equal it doesn’t mean the value of their lives is equal as well. Two people living on the same planet could receive totally different medical treatment. One person could be whisked to the VIP room at a general hospital to receive medical attention from the best doctors while another person could barely see a doctor at the local clinic. Along the way, we have accepted this as the natural way of things. Whether or not you’ll live depends on your ability to pay. But is this a fact? Is it true that everyone’s life has a different value?
