It’s A Marvel
The human body is a marvel; if you want to improve on it then you can even go for Ear correction or whatever-bit(s)-of-you-requires-it enhancement. If you’re reading this (and you must be, mustn’t you?) then you know as well as I do how fantastic the human body really is. First there are physical things you can do, then there are the many things your brain can manage…One of the best being allowing you to day-dream about being on some tropical island, when really you’re cooped up in a tiny office in Slough. Considering everything that’s going on under our skin, it’s a miracle that we can walk in a straight line without something breaking or something else falling off.
Which is why it annoys me when people moan about what their body can’t do. Think about it: you can breathe, and eat, and run, and jump…What else do you really need to be able to do?! Top of the list would be “I can’t eat twenty chocolate bars without putting on weight” and just beneath it would be “My body’s useless! I can’t even run to the shops!” But what people forget is this: the body is capable of a miraculous number of feats, it just needs some help along the way to make those things happen.
It isn’t really these peoples'faults for moaning, of course. Most people haven’t been ill enough that they know how it really is to have everything taken away from them. So next time you see someone who’s worse off, remember: take advantage of what you have, because you only get one shot at this (probably…)
