The word on a word...
The word immunity is such a conflicting word. It has an almost godlike quality about it. Immunity gives and Immunity takes.
For instance… immunity or lack thereof can be the difference between sickness or health.
If you've done something wrong, immunity can relieve you of undesirable consequences. Here it adds by subtraction.
I picture Immunity (capitalized out of respect) as the horizontal bar on the scales of justice weighing one thing against another. It’s a pretty heady word.
