My fourth finger is out of order. I can't straighten it, and it has to be kept somewhat bent at all times.
This morning, I was at my friend's house to do a chemistry project. There were three of us, so one of us drew the stuff that needed to be cut out from this foam board, and then I would cut it out, then pass it on to my other friend who would glue it together. During this process, we were eating oatmeal, cut up sausages with ketchup, and hard boiled eggs, while watching a korean drama, Boys Over Flowers. As I finished cutting something out, I passed it to the gluing friend and she remarked, "Why is there blood on this?" My other friend said "It's ketchup..." But my glue friend insisted that it was blood. Then, I looked down, and I realized that my fingers in the scissor loop thing was also covered with a sticky red substance, that I thought was ketchup. I said, "There's some ketchup on me too... but I didnt have any sausages... maybe you accidentally put some ketchup on the scissors and then passed it on to me!" Then my friend said, "No, that's your blood." I didn't believe her, "No... I'm not hurting.." and then I removed the scissors from my hand and I saw a diagonal slash right across the top part of my fourth finger. Then I realized that I probably cut myself, and then I remembered the slight pain I felt earlier, when my fingers were pressing against the blade... but I had taken no notice of it because it wasn't really hurting.. I thought it was just the uncomfortable scissors digging into me... but apparantly the scissors were just really sharp.. You can usually feel pain if it's something dull that has cut into you, and not something sharp. So I went to wash and bandage my finger, and I tried not to think about the pain... but then i started to feel it. Sigh. Pain is psychological. I'm telling you. If I had never known that I was bleeding and seen the cut, I wouldn't have felt the pain until I moved my finger into another position in which the cut would open and stretch further. Pain is also a defense mechanism, and it is very useful in alerting the body that there is something wrong. If we were not able to feel pain, then we would bleed to death, or die without knowing why. We wouldn't be able to prevent infections, or save ourselves from death. Doesn't this just reflect how perfect and beautiful God's creations are?
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31 (after the first 6 days of creation)
