We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

Wash Your Hands

An article in the Huffington Post worth our notice is entitled, "Super Bacteria? Fighting Resistance Could Be Trickier Than Thought." Based on recent medical research (here), it basically says that bacterial resistance to antibiotics is even more effective than researchers had previously thought. Successful resistance to antibiotics produces stronger little critters and is good for bacterial growth. That isn't good for us, however.

The best thing we can do? Be disciplined in our personal hygiene, and especially wash our hands regularly. A word to the wise. For some further details see (here).  And check out, "Hand washing: Do's and don'ts," posted by the Mayo Clinic.
