Venting Health-pill is brutal.

[twojei]

I believe this is easily a pillthat can rival other truly brutal ones, due to the immense suffering our own bodies can cause us. Sometimes we forget that we are closer to tragedy than to success—or anything like it—and this becomes more evident when we realize we inhabit machines of flesh and blood, with hyper-complex systems that interact with one another. We could even say it's a miracle that something doesn’t go wrong. Still, given the imperfection of our design, we are not exempt from the immense pain we can endure when something goes wrong with our bodies. Illnesses that arise on their own feel like a betrayal... How is it that a system designed to keep me alive becomes the very thing that makes me wish I were dead? Is there a greater betrayal than that?

your body when it configured itself was innocent, it was following a simple metaphysical will to power. The fact that such a metaphysical will exists is itself one of the most heroic and also the most tragic thing at the same time.
