Thomas Nast
This obscure fable by Aesop. "Belly and the Other Members," can gain new value in our time?
Compared to the cute zoo/jungle metaphors of Thomas Nast (donkey and elephant) "Belly and the Other Members" by Aesop is more helpful. Why? Nature magazine reports 12/21/06 that stomach microbes may "lead to a way of fighting malnutrition" around the world! Lead author of the study Jeffrey Gordon, director of Washington University's Center for Genome Sciences says, "For decades, doctors have treated bacteria in a WARLIKE manner, yet research shows that most encounters we have with (the unseen world of) microbes are very beneficial."
It has an all-time value, if you want my opinion: you should never underestimate /look down on backstage -lowest level work. Having people on top means having many more supporting people on the rest of the levels of the world pyramid, performing menial/humbler tasks-this is the only way for the few or for the one to ascend towards the highest point (not that this is negative, but it is how things go round).
Regarding the beneficial action of bacteria, it is not something new, and it is rather irrelevant to the lesson taught by the myth. Most bacteria really are beneficial, and it is not true that doctors have been in battle against them for years. They have been in war against harmful bacteria. "Stomach microbes" are indispensable for our good function, but they can become harmful if they migrate to other organs. And on our skin, for example, there are microorganisms who eat dead cells, so they help renew the epidermis, but when concentrating on bed sheets, they can make an asthma situation worse, if I am not mistaken. This is not a result of recent research.
Connecting to the fable, just do not underestimate what you think is too small for your size, in all ways.
