Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 22, 2015

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability. My feeling is that this, also known as flexibility, is a very healthy trait. Why? For example, an inflexible person might be scared to death of bacteria, even to the extreme of regularly taking prescription antibiotics. This policy ignores the fact that there are very beneficial bacteria that assist us, in one major example, in our body's digestive function. Therefore, killing all bacteria in a human body (which a strong antibiotic might do), is considered an unhealthy act.
