The appendix is a body organ considered vestigial. Vestigial means something that used to be useful but isn’t anymore. Like a piece of clothing that once fit but no longer does, you either throw it away or give it to someone else. Or like selling fuel in winter.

In life, many things become vestigial over time: a relationship, a friendship, a city, a country, a hobby, a routine. Just because something was useful once doesn’t mean it’s still useful today. Sometimes, before it causes you unbearable pain like an appendix, you need to find it yourself and remove it.

Postscript:
On August 6, 2020, after two hard and painful days, I had my appendix removed. It was the most intense pain I’ve ever endured. May no one else have to experience it.
