Your Best Friend

When you hurt yourself really badly, and I'm not talking about bad - I mean 'life & death' bad - the body goes into shock and doesn't allow you to know how much pain you're in. This is a good thing because having something sharp rip right through you, falling from a great height, or third degree burns would feel awful. The body is the best friend you'll ever have and throughout our lives we shock and abuse it, until finally, it realises that we never truly liked it in the first place.
People always complain about things they dislike about their bodies, what they would change given the chance, but it's the body that fights tooth and nail for you, fixes you when you need fixing and never gives up on you in a fight, even if the fight isn't one it can win.

Best friends are best friends for good reason, would you knowingly hurt yours?
