the common cold
I've been sick for four days, and today is the first day that I took any medicine.
I feel very suspicious about cold medicines for some reason. I don't mind taking precautionary measures to not get sick, but taking pills to relieve the effects of an illness seems strangely wrong to me. I have this dim feeling that people in 2100 AD will be look back and go "wow, they actually supressed their bodies' natural response symptoms: how insane."
Most of the people I've talked to about this feeling have said "you're nuts." What's the verdict? Am I a masochist? Or off on some macho "I'll fight it off myself" trip? Or do other people share this suspicion? |
