People do many strange and horrid things in the name of religion or nation
or some other pretext. Violence has been perpetrated by the Crusaders, by
the Nazis, by the Buddhists in Bhutan, by the Hindus in the Kashmir, Babri

All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right
dose differentiates a poison…. Paracelsus (1493-1541)
Paracelsus did a fair job with those few words. Indeed love, theology,
belief, water, books, and a large variety of concepts and behaviors could
qualify as substance
