The Christian acts in a certain way because it is the law, but Jesus did what he did out of an instinctual physiological sensitivity to suffering, similar to that of Buddha or Epicurus. No one who experiences this sensitivity is able to endure extended contact with the world because they “feel every contact too deeply.”
The Christian, on the other hand, behaves in accordance with the rules of the church only in order to gain access to heaven and obtain eternal happiness. The difference is an extremely important one. It is the difference between acting in accord with one’s nature and rebelling against what one is.

The hostage,

To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will seperate between him and what he touches.

The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.

Sometimes, the embryonic tissues that would become the spleen fail to fuse with one another, and as a result, the individual would have a normal spleen in its normal position, and an accessory spleen.

Also, the accessory splenic tissue can attach to the embryonic gonadal tissue and descend with it in a condition called "splenogonadal fusion".

Splenosis is when the spleen divides due to trauma and injury, and the remaining tissue grows as an accessory spleen in addition to the main one.

About 10% - 15% of the population have at least one accessory spleen. And it can be misdiagnosed as a neoplasia or a lymph node.

Splenogonadal fusion in which the spleen is attached to the left testis of a 1 year-old.

Here's this really interesting case of a 15-year-old boy who was admitted to the emergency department following blunt abdominal trauma.
The computed tomographic scan showed a traumatic rupture of the spleen and a 7-cm mass at the left side of the retroperitoneal space. Conservative treatment started and aborted after 4 h due to the onset of haemodynamic instability. Splenectomy was performed. And an accessory spleen was discovered. A second large mass in the retroperitoneum was diagnosed as a second large accessory spleen that was also left in place. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day. Seven months later, the CT scan showed viability of both accessory spleens.

باختصار: صار عنده splenic rupture بس طلع عنده two accessory spleens عوضن مكان الأصلي😂
