re: How AIDS evolved? |

a very enlightening conversation. at the risk of being excommunicated for jumping in into a topic and whatever else follows on from there, here's my totally unsolicited two cents (or paise, if you wish to be politically correct!)
00. viruses mutate. immutable fact. that's how they survive.
01. viruses jump species. lots of other things do, too. again, that's how they survive.
02. originated from a simian species, the rhesus monkey.
03. at that time, probably not very killing-oriented.
04. jumped species to homo sapiens somehow. don't ask me how.
05. infected large numbers of people, called a disease, while in truth it's nothing but a simple(?) epidemic.
now, the above points may NOT be entirely true, but that's just how i view the story. maybe we went wrong somewhere, and this is just another example of how nature fights back. there's got to be a goodly amount of balance between left / right, good / bad, plus / minus (add your favorite antonyms here), and if this balance goes wrong, good ole' mom nature knows how to rectify stuff. if this means that people need to be killed, so be it. nature doesn't discriminate between an elephant and a fly, or a human and simian for that matter.
in jest: one question, why is this thread worried about aids in a conversation where dharma (or the right way to do things, in my humble opinion) is the primary driver? there are a thousand items out there that demand a rightfully-thinking hominid's brain power, aren't there?
and seriously: do keep the thoughts flowing, and forgive this newbie's intrusion. welcome or not, here i am!
cheers,
yak. Private Reply to yaka michi (new win) |
