In chemotherapy, medical decisions, and end-of-life care, what truly destroys a person’s life is often not the illness itself, but the collective ignorance surrounding it. The patient mistakenly believes there are no other options; the doctor overlooks the physical and psychological limits the patient can bear; the family treats the insistence on rescue and refusal to give up as an expression of love. There is a lack of communication, avoidance within the system, and the absence of truth… And society as a whole has never taught or learned how to say goodbye calmly. Amid these layers of misalignment and concealment, life collapses quietly and without anyone noticing.

This is not an individual failure, but a systemic aphasiaa collective silence of medical culture, emotional logic, and social education in the face of death.
