My biology lab involving the dissection of a brain today reminded me of something I have thought about quite a bit during the last few years. As I looked down at the disgustingly slimy, smelly organ that represented so many "beautiful" things (i.e. thoughts, feelings, intelligence, imagination, perception, etc.), I couldn't help but think that there was nothing physically beautiful about it - quite the opposite, actually. And the same can be said about the rest of the organs and insides of a human. A human - something so beautiful from the outside (relatively
), yet so ugly inside. For the sake of those with weak stomachs, I decided not to post anything too gory involving the insides of a human. However, I posted the following pictures as a basis for comparison. Am I the only one that wonders about the significance of this? Just looking at the skull, I get a chill down my spine of how evil and horrid it looks. Your thoughts?
