Body Worlds & the Cycle of Life

Before Christmas, we saw exhibition called 'Body Worlds & the Cycle of Life'. It's not difficult to figure out that it was connected with science, life and body. It all was about the human and inner life.

 We watched bones, human skeletons showed in many different ways, internal organs like liver, intestines, heart, brain and all what the human is build with. Probably all of that was real but it was unbelievably ! Some of exhibits looked such unreal (of course, mostly in positive meaning). There also were captions under exhibits and screens on walls. Everybody could read them or watched short movies and learn something. Perfect if you are interesting in science and biology.

I think the exhibition could be a bit shocking or creepy for some people but I can say it was quite interesting but I also expected a bit more. So, what I liked the most ? Wall with quotes about life and histories about health, age, the happiest or the longest- living people. I drew a blank on majority of them but I remeber two quotes. They go this way :

'Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.' ~ Mark Twain

'And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.' ~ Abraham Lincoln

What is the real meaning of Christmas?

Candles burning low? 
Lots of mistletoe? Lots od snow and ice?
I think there is no wrong anwser, Christmas time could means for you
buying present or just decorating a tree, for your neighbor, spending time
with family or watching home alone.
But for me it could be someting more than that,
deep,deep inside I hard belive it's all about love. 
Who does not need love?
Only crazy ones. 
People hete being lonley and for me, christmas is time to
find love! Of course nothing can be forced, however look around;
cupcake in heart's shape, pink sweaters, even malls are decorated with sweet,
shiny patterns.
Maybe this year try to focus, how you express feelings to your closest?
People often, in christmas time fever, forget about important values, I do not say
that buying gifts or doing housework is wrong and unnecessary, but definitely 
not the most expected. Remeber that even old-fashioned "I love you" can make 
a smile on their face.
