We live in a polluted world and we have become accustomed to it. The level of environmental pollution is increasing day by day, especially in big cities. Since we cannot leave them because we are still anchored to them by obligations, we have simply started adapting to such a situation.
Our bodies produce antibodies and we are almost naturally getting used to the unnatural. However, the process is much more complex because it is not limited to just the physical environment, but extends to the psychological and mental level, polluting human experiences to unimaginable extents.
The psychological dirt manifests itself in rough emotions that infiltrate every aspect of life. Violence, aggression, and extreme selfishness seem to have become common means used in most societies.
Initially, they cause great suffering, but if we have ever wondered how long it is possible to endure before everything explodes, it is now clear to us, because we have already produced antibodies for defense and we continue on as best as we know and can.

Our insecurity, fear, and helplessness are not overshadowed by these antibodies, which have created something that resembles indifference, but is not. The coldness with which we accept the greatest cruelties – with which, thanks to the media, we have breakfast every day – is a way of resisting, a way of telling ourselves, “this will not disturb me, maybe later, or maybe not at all…”
And what do we do with corruption that unexpectedly appears everywhere, even among those we thought we knew and thought were incorruptible? Again, indifference, shifting responsibility, we continue to walk as if we have not seen anything because we understand that our protest, besides being ineffective, could harm our security. There are those who justify entering the game, while others distance themselves in an effort not to be infected. In both cases, these antibodies cause us to perceive as almost normal what would shock us in a healthy consciousness.
The prevailing ideas today are attacked by various viruses. generally, it is not unusual. on existing ideas, without even thinking; there is a limited set of topics that touch upon public opinion, skillfully manipulated, and in the absence of anything else, that manipulated public opinion becomes what everyone believes they think.
Since we are also facing an illness here, antibodies are being created again – we assimilate these ideas, although they don’t deserve to be called that, and we reject all others that oppose them. In the end, this passivity is not healthy, it is just a subconscious recognition that we haven’t learned to reason on our own and that if we try, we will be declared crazy.
We have mutated. Although antibodies help us live in a certain way, that way of life is not natural. If we suddenly left our polluted societies and arrived at a heavenly place where everything is different and better, and then returned, we would discover to what extent we have become accustomed to breathing in the midst of filth.
In such a situation, we have two options: surrender to mutation by aligning ourselves with the prevailing ideas, or rely on our own judgement and seek to think independently. Generations that are increasingly artificial and better adapted to disfiguring pollution or reject pollution, seeking solutions for purifying air, emotions, and ideas. This final task is very difficult. If we had started earlier, we would have less work now. We must now confront the plague that suffocates us and often robs us of the strength to break through it. It is certainly worth the effort. It is not about creating antibodies, but about living with a healthy body; it is not necessary to live defending oneself from a thousand attacks, but to live creating greater and better opportunities for humanity. In the light of philosophy, the fields of ecology are infinite.
