I saw this image of these fantastic small, transparent, swimming sea slugs called Sea Angels. You can find them in the chilly, shallow waters of the Arctic and Antarctic oceans if you want to go and find them. They are only around 5 cm long, so they are not tall, and probably not so easy to find.

They are so beautiful with their colors and the way they swim but are ruthless hunters.

Despite their beautiful colors and beautiful way of swimming, their appearance makes me think of the devil and an angel in the same body.

It's like a metaphor for us human beings, we have both an angel's will to help and reduce pain as we have a devil inside us trying to take control.

And in many cases, we also are ruthless hunters, not only for food, but also for money, honor, and fame we sometimes walk over corpses to reach them.

But we are beautiful, we can change, and we can make this world a better place, if we help each other, not fight, and try not to be greedy, so could we save this planet from being destroyed.

But it is now we have to do it, we can't wait any longer.
