Of snails and human flesh

 

Dang what came to your mind when you see this pic?

 

"A creature of mother nature, O' god bless all the living beings on Earth"

 

"Disgusting piece of slimy things that could crawl on your very wall, and that blue disgusting secretion when you pour salt on it? urgh!"

 

Which is it? For me, it'd be "what vulnerable creature...hang on a sec, we humans are not any better honestly"

 

You've guessed it right! We're weak and vulnerable to many forms of injury. Look at all the amazing creatures dwell in the same planet as we do. Tough turtle shells that even a lion's teeth would have problem piercing through it; Or a shark's immunity system, so strong that it the probability of a shark getting cancer is almost near zero. And we human? A knife would leave us with an open wound and what came out?

 

Blood.

 

Scary isnt it? You'd think snails are the only creature with so much liquids inside their body, we're in fact not any better honestly. Nearly 60% of our body are consist of water. I think you get my point here, we're in fact very fragile creatures. Not to mention human childbirth is one of the many most difficult tasks around, due to the fact that we have brains so big that makes us so smart.

 

Just another thought today when i was swimming, i'd thought how it would be swimming side by side with a whale shark, or in a school of black marlin/swordfish. Saw it in discovery channel the other day, man actually video tapped in the open ocean with those swordfish swimming around him. Speaking of which, still it is my lifelong dream to withness a great white shark in the open sea ( and of course, behind bars in a cage ).

 

( On an entirely irrelevant side topic, i got locked in my own damn house this evening. I'd actually wanting to go out to get myself dinner, only to find that....all the damn keys have been taken by my parents and sister. Doesnt feel nice getting locked in tho honestly lol )
