DON'T YOU THINK NATURE IS CLEVER LOL?

A fun discussion this one lol! I've sat and pondered about this from time to time! As we get older and those of you in my age group (1'm 52) will notice, your near sight starts to deteriorate and generally your far sight improves, useful if you are waiting on a bus I guess lol. You start to suffer from 'fuzzy' vision as I like to call it, you cant read small print it gets difficult to type as you cant read what you've typed and so the time has come that you need to have your eyesight tested and generally need glasses for those difficult tasks like threading needles and reading.

Well pondering on this thought as I was applying my makeup with my magnifying mirror, nature didn't equip us with glasses. As we grow older our bodies tend to get a bit fatter and flabbier, everything heads south lol (well some of us lol!) and we aquire lines and wrinkles our skin isn't as firm as it once was. So I have come up with a theory lol!

Nature gave us 'fuzzy vision' for a reason, so as we look at our reflection and one another in our peer group, we all look at one another in 'fuzzy vision' therefore we don't see the lines and wrinkles and the saggy bits, we only see one another as we once did when younger.
So isn't Nature clever?

How nature evolves our species, infact every species and even at the end of our reproductive lives, it gives us the menopause as nature knows we are not as fit and energetic as we were to look after babies full time. When I used to teach anatomy and physiology I used to get so passionate and fired up about all the processes our body goes through even simply to digest food, all the chemical changes and ways of extraction of different nutrients and how these nutrients are transported to our cells and how our cells reproduce so quickly and so perfectly. And when a new mother sees her new born baby for the first time and if like me you even check out the tiny fingernails and eyelashes and you see perfection "NATURE IS SO INCREDIBLY CLEVER'; ▶ Reply to This
