Every once in a while karma reminds me that I'm only human. In the way, that only karma can.
This generally happens any time I start to think that my superior immune system renders me impervious to the plights of weaker ones.
That's about the time I'm reduced to a pathetic, achy, congested, sneezing, snivelling mess of a human being. Unfit to walk to the corner store. One that is about as far as possible, from the supposed peak of evolutionary development we like to consider ourselves to be...
But this cold has got me thinking (for the briefest of moments anyways)... That seriously? This runny snotty mess is the most efficient way we've come up over the last six million years to get rid of internal disease and pestilence?
I'm not impressed.
I would ponder this further, but my congestion has backed up into my cerebral cortex and everything is grinding to a halt.
No match for even the tiniest of virus and bacterium.
Absolutely pathetic.
