Are Parasites always bad?

Whether you like it or not, you also have parasites inside you and most of you will have a hard time eliminating them, believe me.

I hate to be accused as a plagiarizer so I'll try to summarize everything I learned about parasites. And also in order to distinguish if they are always a disadvantage or if they can also be an advantage to us.

Parasites are micro-organism who depend on their host for support and survival. They fight everything in order to survive like our body, immune system and the environment. They can affect us Physically, Socially and Mentally.

They are all hiding, we just don't see them but they are all lurking around, benefiting from our hard-work.

We get parasites from eating cold foods, traumatic experiences, poor digestion, poor elimination of toxic waste, taking anti-acid medications, and mostly meat. You just need to ingest their eggs.

Some Parasites aren't all bad. In fact, some of them can actually be quite beneficial. Five thousand years ago, some of the Egyptian doctors believe that leeches can cure some ailments from headache to flatulence. Until today leeches are still used for the same medication especially to treat or cure blood circulation.

On the other hand parasites are not only the ones inside our body, but also these are the ones who always ask for paper, who always ask us for a treat, who always ask for our food and other things they will boldly ask to fulfill their needs. These are the ones who mostly uses the words can I have it? can I have that? may I have some? may i have it etc. Uuughhhh....Good thing if we can also do the same to them, but suddenly they will turn their backs at us.

The positive thing about being a host is that we learn to be independent, it can build self-esteem, knowing the fact that we can handle things by ourselves and they need us. For some the advantage is for socialization, you gain more friends when they can benefit from you. People are blinded by fame that they forgot to think about themselves. Well this is parasitism, one always gains advantage while one gets nothing or slowly drains everything.

Today we watch the movie Parasyte. Parasyte (Japanese: 寄生獣 Hepburn: Kiseijū?, lit. "Parasitic Beasts") is a science fiction horror manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, and published in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine from 1988 to 1995.

The story is about a boy name Izumi that has been infected by a parasite, in the movie parasites can be eliminated by killing their host. Unlike in reality, parasites are hard to extinguish. The parasite can talk and it's like it's not being a "parasite" because it protects its own host, although it's only doing it for itself but the movie shows mutualism between a human and a parasite which is ironical.

One of my favorite lines, it gives me an impact like I want to be in the movie or I want to say the same line or literally do it. Parasites in this movie have the ability to morph into any shape, they can be even a sharpest blade that can slice the strongest metal. Thumbs up. can't wait for the part two. Everything has both.
