Vivism and Microbes

("Microbism")

 

"Respecting life of

microbes, in a measure as big as possible".

 

We cannot see them, the fourth (in fact however the first) kind of living beings, apart from Humans, Animals and Plants. But we know they're there; in the air, in the water, in the soil, as good as anywhere. They're that small, that man can only see them by use of a microscope. They're "microspopic small"  and therefore called "microbes". One of the most occuring kinds of them are Bacteria.

We also know a lot about the important functions they have, among other things in- and outside the human and the animal body.
Vitamins for instance are bacteria; living beings, who's function inside the human body is to bring minerals, that are in consumed food, to the special organs, where they are needed. (For instance Calcium to the bones).

While man cannot see them, he hardly knows them. For instance has he got no experiences, that showed him, they have emotions, or feel pain, like he does have with animals and plants.

On the other hand it's quite likely, that whereas the other kinds of living beings have feelings, this is a general characteristic to all kinds, including the smallest and invisible. One might even say, that if they wouldn't have feelings, they would not be able to carry out their functions, because they wouldn't have the sence, needed for that. For they are certainly not simply programmed peaces of dead material, thriven by artificially generated energy.

How to respect life of microbes?

Naturally there's nothing on Earth, that threatens life of microbes. When somebody climbes into a tree, to pick some fruits and he falls out, no bacteria, that find themselves on or in his body, or on the ground, will be harmed.

It are always unnatural causes, generated by man, that lead to the death of microbes.
The main one is fire (including heat, caused by fire).

Other ones are chemicals, that are produced to kill them. One of these is soap.
But its true, soapproducts an other chemicals, can not be produced, if no fire is made. So all by all its fire, that shouldn't be made any more, when man wants to respect life of microbes as well.

Just imagine, no fire would mean: no production of steel and plastic;
so no weapons around any more, no chain-sows, no cars, no airplains, no factories in general.
So no war deads, no terrorist-bombs, no air- and other polution, no drugs use, no alcohol, no tabacco use;
just pure natural life, with fresh, fragrant air, with silence (exept the natural sounds), without most nowadays kinds of danger, without all, that now is bringing this planet closer and closer to abyss.
All this, thanks to the fact, that one respects life of the smallest living beings, there are around, as well.

In practice

In all day life there are several things, one can do different, or leave behind, so that many bacterium-lives are spared.

• No heating inside the house. One can allways wear sufficient (for instance ski-) clothes.

• Eat uncooked food as much as possible. This doesn't only save many bacterium-lives, but turns out to be very healthy, moreover.

• Using as little electricity, as possible. For instance inside the house, one can do a lot of things by hand, that nowadays usually are done by apparatusses; (for instance grinding).

• Use as little fuel as possible. A bike uses no fuel at all, a motor-bike and a bus, or a train, (per person) notably less than a car and very much less than an air-plane.

• Use as little soap as possible. Most of the wash can very well be done by first socking it for a day and then finish it; all in unheated water and eventually by hand).
