Perfect Symmetry

Symmetry fascinates me. I find in it a sense of order, discipline and dedication. A symmetrical object is the outcome of tedious effort. Any mistake would have resulted in chaotic asymmetry. Out of the limitless ways for creating something, there is only one that makes it symmetrical.

 It is rather ironic, that biological symmetry is abundant in nature (which is supposedly not governed by any laws). As a biologist, I understand the molecular justification for symmetry. However, it strikes me as amazing that nature’s chaos and disorder produced symmetry unmatched in its perfection. Nature might be seeking order after all.
