RE: ...

Have you thought of a different expression when you think about our immune system?

How about to look at somewhat eccentric viruses and bacteria as runaways, who dare to push forward, which puts us and our bacterial & co roommates a little bit under stress. A cheeky virus that may test a new form of co-existence, perhaps even so that in many millions of years a completely new life form will emerge?

All these flu viruses, what are they actually up to? Wipe us out? Or are they testing whether they can still co-exist with us, sometimes at the limit, like an exuberant roommate? Which resistant and with them in an exciting balance of this co-creating way, and should they potentially do so in the distant future? Doesn't life always look for a way?

Maybe from now on I will celebrate every survived flu. But maybe not. It's good to get used to dangerous things, because, after all, we are not afraid of them any more.
