Recently there was the blood donation day. Yes, indeed, blood is the thickest, we realise on such a day because the typical ceremonies and homilies on such days apart, the common man realises that the typical differences do not matter at all. The same blood courses, despite the not much understood blood groups, along all the veins and each artery of mankind. Age , caste, creed, region, religion, gender remain irrelevant in such a scientifically central concept.
Yes, i have donated blood once. The episode was not at all melodramatic, unlike films. The whole scientific procedure from the tourniquet to the mandatory biscuit post donation is quite exciting though.
Hope human beings realise at least on such a day how meaningless and downright dangerous blood shedding is. Hope this day onwards, when it comes to using the ancient mode of javelin throw with a stone, people would remember that behind all the imagined pretences, reddish blood is the same every which way, a rare, essential phenomenon, much better under the skin than on some stone or a pavement. Long live the blood donation day!
