What is hair? A lovely fashion accessory. Proof of our mammalian nature. It's been stiff, curly, crazy. Even the lack of hair, to be bald, makes a statement about a person.
But, as per wikipedia "Hair growth begins under the skin in a hair follicle. The only "living" portion of the hair is found in the follicle. The hair that is visible is the hair shaft, which exhibits no biochemical activity and is considered dead."
Dead.
Every person with lovely long locks is carrying proof of their own mortality on their head. On their arms and legs. Sure said hair shaft, insert giggling here, protects us from the cold: but that almost makes it worse.
...
... Fuck it. I'm still too lazy to shave.
lofty thoughtness,
too much free time,
but tell us what *you* think rm!
