Every skull is different; hard, hollow, porous, strong but delicate. It's funny
how the mush, the practically formless composition which the skull is
constructed to protect, is responsible for a practically uncountable amount
of functions. In animals, it perpetrates Instinct, the basic keys to survival and
the capacity to carry it out. In humans, the capacity is even greater. As far as
it is known, the human is the most intelligent being on the face of this earth.
Us humans can think, which leads to great things, mediocre things, sad
things, bad things and terrible cataclysmic things. It's curious how some
ways of thinking are regional. In some countries, certain thinking is common.
There's fanaticism sometimes, which usually stems from religion. Take
countries like Iran for instance. In their war with Iraq, they've committed most
of the countries youthful population into a holy war as human mine sweepers.
Or take the sacrificial fanaticism in other Middle Eastern countries.
