The bottom line is that the human body is complex and subtle, and oversimplifying - as common sense sometimes impels us to do - can be hazardous to your health.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
The advantage of knowing about risks is that we can change our behavior to avoid them. Of course, it is easily observed that to avoid all risks would be impossible; it might entail no flying, no driving, no walking, eating and drinking only healthy foods, and never being touched by sunshine. Even a bath could be dangerous.
A healthy human environment is one in which we try to make sense of our limits, of the accidents that can always befall us and the passage of time which inexorably changes us.
I've always been fascinated by the human body, but you can become quite morbid and paranoid if you think too much.
I think the human body is beautiful, and I don't really have a huge problem in dealing with it, but it's the context, the environment and what I feel about it that that makes the difference for me.
It's true that the human body is more vulnerable than the products of the human mind.
There are hazards in anything one does but there are greater hazards in doing nothing.
The body is forever teaching us lessons. There are all sorts of things that we can't do, shouldn't do, had better not do very often or do for too long as we get older. The body makes its presence known.
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
The reason we're so dangerous is because we're totally harmless.
