33- the will to love
avery old lady who had devoted her life to Pioneer work in eduvcation once told about a dangerous illness she had suffered in her middle years.she lay hovering between life and detah,in the twillght of half-surrender,when she overhead two of her co-workers talking just outside her hospital room.’if we could only reach her! One of them said passionetly.’ıf we could only make her understand how much we need her!’the words did reach her,and with the forces of life and death hanging in the balance,they resurrected her will to live.in that moment of discourgemnt and wavering faith,the intensify of her collagus plea reasurred her and gave her courage to take up struggle again.if we trully wish to live,if we have something to live for,then the will to live becomes a poverful force in combatting illness.within each of us there are two strong instinctual drives,the will to live and the desire to detsrooy ourselves.
The poverful instinct to remain alive is bolsterted by our desire to create,to discover and to accomplish.doctors make obeisance to it when,in a crisis of illness,they say,’we have done all we can-now it is up to the patient.

a-it was during the early evening
b-she had virtually given up trying tos tay alive
c-she ralized that she had a fatal ilness
d-they were not allowed to go into her hospital room
e-she had diffuculty understanding them
-the old lady………..
a-lost her faith after her illness
b-was the most important member of the work team
c-was unable to recieve visitors when she was ill
d-had been left to die by her doctors
e-worked in new fiels of study in education
