Having two kidneys..

Pathologic Basis of Disease (8th Edition) - page 906
"The functional reserve of kidney is large, and much damage may occur before there is evident functional impairment. For these reasons the early signs and symptoms are particularly important clinically."

I believe in God, and for me, when people tell me that the kidney is one of the most important organs because everything and i mean EVERYTHING depend on the kidney to clean their dirt, I have to thank God that he gave us two each. But i guess nothing is every good enough for us, right? He gave us kidneys to clean our blood, and the compensatory mechanism is enough to cover up the damage.. If a third of our kidneys are destroyed, the kidneys can still work at optimum range, because they can cover for us. (well if we lose one kidney, the other will work up to 75%.. so based on that logic, if a third of both our kidneys spoil, we would still have a 100% right? )

My point is.. I think in life, He gave us mechanisms to help ourselves even if we do wrong, and even if some parts our lives are destroyed, we would still have a good life, but if we destroy everything that is good and pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, then we would really feel the consequence. So before it is too late and we reach the "end stage kidney disease", we should try to change and preserve whatever good that is still working and hope to do better..

I know some parts might seem as if im reading into things, but i dont think i can go on in life, see people depressed, people with congenital diseases( in born diseases), people who eat healthy and exercise getting ill, and still be positive if i dont have this silver lining.

So before anything bad, i need to muse.. muse about all the "signs and symptoms" in my life and change them before its too late and the compensatory mechanism or the functional reserve can no longer sustain life.
