Loki In The God Of Medicine
From the very first sip of milk at birth, to the last bite of rice in old age, humans have always proven “I am still alive” through eating. Eating is the most primal covenant between life and the world, the individual’s most direct confirmation of existence. Depriving eating, is severing the most original connection between human and world.
Medicine should be a tool to assist life, yet under the name of “salvation,” it deprives patients of the ability to eat, accelerating systemic collapse in decline. It severs, not only physiological function, but also the root of will. In extreme cases, this even becomes a form of “medical killing” with a tint of technical violence. Not a knife, not a gun, but a cold pill; it is silent, bloodless, yet slowly renders people unable to eat, weak, with organ failure, until death.
What is truly terrifying, is not death itself, but that the dignity of life, has long been drained. This is not salvation, but a “thorough and complete murder”.
Whoever causes others to no longer swallow, is the Loki in the God of Medicine.
