Why are we humans so convinced that we must kill our path to health?
Antibiotics, chemotherapy, alcohol, spray bacteria killers, pasteurization, long etcetera..
To kill in the name of health. Even just in case, as a preventive measure.
I'm not telling anybody to stop taking its medicine. Just thinking out loudly about it.
If we are living beings then health sounds to me like more live, not more killing.
Maybe it's because we have seen all those movies in which a violent misogynous big white cop kills every single bad guy to keep his live and even, some times, save his destroyed marriage or career or both.
Maybe we are just terribly scared about otherness.
Maybe rich people can't get richer by selling wild bacteria, weeds, etc. Or it's simpler to sell weapons to murder neighbors, bacteria, weeds or anything that gets into our way to success (or to work).
Who knows?
