When we arrive on this earth
we are endowed with the most perfect,
the most efficient,
and the best constructed machine ever devised
That's the human body.

A machine beautifully engined constructed with the best materials
with no planned obsolescence
Almost all bodies are constructed with material
of superb quality
destined with proper use
to last long periods of time
However, that's for a few who are strong

whose family history
as regards longevity is not the best
are constructed of materials somewhat less than perfect.

Osler once said that
those who want to live to a ripe old age
should choose the right grandparents
However, it is a little late for some of us to do that.

Heredity does play a role in our longevity
but we are responsible,
as in the case of most machines,
for the adequate care and maintenance is what determines whether the machine functions well and lasts a long time without excessive wear and early obsolescence.

That's the human body
The best art work ever
Be proud of yourself
And be humble
The human body should be protected
