there is also small fishes eating big fishes
big fishes protecting small fishes etc..
this a dance of joining  not a struggle in maintening separation.

that is clear they become a menace to the integrity of the organism when the

i know many peoples who can be relatively disease free and eat like domestic
porks. I am glad they can do that,  i just myself can't afford to live that

You don't even need to eat instinctivelly to not be diseased It is even
reinforcing more my ideas that viruses are not the problem.

Normal you seems prudent , i am trusting !  neither you or i had to suffer
yet  from our choices,  or do you?
I have been overly prudent in my past ,now i learn to live faithfully. It is
so freeing to not be in charge all the time !
