There are no exceptions

"I know that this illness often goes that way, but my case is different." - I've heard it many times and I will now offend everybody who thinks like this. There are no exceptions in connection with health and sickness - the laws of nature apply to everyone.

There was a flu epidemic that made one of my acquaintances sick but not me. "I only got sick because of the flu, I cannot help it," he said. "Yes, but then why didn't I get sick? Because my immune system is stronger. And why is yours weaker? What is the reason?" He knew the answer: " Because I smoke and don't do any sports."
