TO MY FATHER LAND
-JOSE RIZAL
Recorded in the history of human sufferings is a cancer of so malignant a character that the
least touch irritates it and awakens in it the sharpest pains. Thus, how many times, when in the
midst of modern civilizations I have wished to call thee before me, now to accompany me in
memories, now to compare thee with other countries, hath thy dear image presented itself
showing a social cancer like to that other!
Desiring thy welfare, which is our own, and seeking the best treatment, I will do with thee what
the ancients did with their sick, exposing them on the steps of the temple so that every one
who came to invoke the Divinity might offer them a remedy.
