Alligator skin


Let's talk leather skin. This guy, we are going to call him Al, was saved from becoming a belt, purse, pair of boots, or even upholstery because he lives in an aquarium. His skin is highly desirably to the wealthy.

Doesn't it cost us an arm and a leg to keep our skin from becoming like his? We scrub and cleanse to prevent blemishes and then spread the goop to moisturize then we add another layer to prevent wrinkles. Al's rough skin makes him a valuable commodity while our rough skin is a curse.

However, maybe the lessen is we should stop fighting our natural state. God created us knowing exactly what our bodies required to survive. Al has rough skin to survive in the rough elements. Humans have softer skin, easier to break and easier to mark up. Maybe so we'd have a bit more sympathy and take better care of each other. Humans also have less teeth and hands. Maybe so we stop biting each other and can shake hands.
