“The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA.”DNA controls everything in our body. If it goes haywire, then everything else in our body goes crazy too! It is basic of life, we cannot live without it.
We have the capacity to blunder slightly is because we are born with the DNA. It defines our personality, we cannot change it! If we make mistakes, blame it on the DNA!? I remember I have a cousin that is married and is recently divorced. Why? Because he likes to flirt and has many mistresses outside. A normal wife would divorce him. One saying goes: “Once a flirt, always a flirt. Your DNA defines you, you would not change no matter whether you are determined or not.”
Well, this is the real marvel of DNA! There are other marvels of DNA yet to be found!
“Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.”
I think it says that without DNA, we would not live on oxygen (because we are not human) and we would not have special feelings like everlasting love. When we are not living on oxygen, it means that we are half dead, at least that is what it means to me. :) Bacteria are anaerobic creatures? And I am 100 sure they don’t have complicated feelings like us!
No humans mean no music?! Music is made by humans with feelings. There are love songs, children songs, classical songs, rock and pop. Without feelings, there would be no fast paced rhythm when one is feeling happy and slow songs when one is feeling sad. Music therapy can help depressed people, because their emotions are taking over them. Why can music heal? Because different kinds of music triggers different kinds of people. Only creatures which have no feelings would not be triggered by it. When I talk about music, I would have countless thoughts on it, because it is my only companion when I am alone. :) My DNA loves music! I am born with it!
Basically, DNA is everything and it dominates our whole body. It is just like the commander telling the soldiers how to march and be patriotic. We have to listen to it, and go with it. All thanks to this small yet marvelous thing, we are all unique. :)
