Why is it important?
Environmental sanitation and elimination of open field defecation has reduced the chance of spread of bugs by the flies. If the flies do not spread the infections anymore, they will not make us sick and anti fly measures will nor be required. We can live in harmony with the flies. This will reduce use of toxic pesticides and reduce pollution.
Perspectives
Can we create harmony between various life forms and live in this world? The house flies are looked down upon and and considered pests which need to be eliminated. The house flies play a role in nature and need to be preserved as a life form and not to be destroyed.
