In and Out

I thought of the movie Osmosis Jones while driving and how the people (cells) in the body drive cars through the body to get to separate organs.  There are a lot of comparisons you can make about cells, organs, and our bodies to our lives in cities throughout the world.  For example:  every citizen plays a role in the way our society runs.  The doctor helps other citizens, the trash man takes our trash, the companies produce products for our benefit.  The body works very similar to that.  Every cell, organ, and areas of the body work together to make the body work properly.  The white cells work as a doctor would, killing germs and sicknesses.  Our digestive system works similarly to a trash man.  When you watch a city or even a freeway, you can visually see the comparisons to our bodies.  Our cars are all driving on roads to end up somewhere, like a cell in a vein or an artery.  Each car has a license place which and each person has identification, like DNA.  You could go as far as saying that our skin keeps our body warm, like the atmosphere keeps our earth inhabitable. The most important comparison is our brain, which plays a governing role telling the other parts of the body what to do.  With out government there would be no order, and without our brain nothing in our body would work.  I could go on forever about the similarities between our bodies and the way our society runs.  I just felt like its worth thinking about.
