Life's Viruses

Personalization of one's fears or addictions. Exemplifying the ambient to be the physical. You may call them demons but I call them viruses. For the sake of this conversation, think of them as Life's Viruses. There are two groups of people. Those that fight their viruses and those that do not.

Some people fight life's viruses because they are capable of doing it; some flawlessly while some suffer some damage. Others fight them because of fear; fear of the possible damage it may cause, fear of having it around, fear of the unknown, fear of things it may materialize, fear of the ambient. I shouldn't forget the group of other that fight viruses to get rid of the useless ones and bring in a useful one  -- for reasons I would explain later on.

Some others, the second group of people do not fight viruses for a whole bunch of reasons identical to their counterparts. They are afraid of the damage they can do to themselves during the process; be it mental, emotional or physical. But others do not fight viruses to keep them.

Viruses can be encontered, fought and overcome. The reason, I would say, people keep some in reserve is...life -- it's no irony. If you fight your virus, flawlessly, it's gone. It's gone in the sense that you are no longer hooked on that addiction or fear or 'entity' and there is no trace on your path to verify the virus' existence with you. If you extend the effect of this singular act to all the viruses you have in your life, you would be living a blank life. And you may say, "He meant 'perfect' life". No! A blank one. Now you have nothing to fear, you cruise daily on nothing, you think to yourself that you are living a life above all....until another shows up. Keeping the virus, keeping the fear, the unapproachable would create the mindset that there are levels not yet reached, places undiscovered, problems unsolved, philosophies unwritten and so on. It brings the willingness to carry on, to improve oneself, to explore and discover. Take that away from any human and what you would have is "???".

I am no doctor by profession, neither am I Socrates, Aristotle or Tycho Brahe. But I would recommend, if you have one of such life's viruses. Keep them, learn from them. The amount to now and to be known cannot be less than limitless.
