WHAT ARE PEOPLE MADE OF?

Science has uncovered many miracles where the body is concerned. We have facts on all the different organs and the functions they serve. Reproduction, genes and DNA is still heavily researched, but we have learned more than we ever thought possible. But I am not interest in what the body is made of, but instead, what people are made of.

Our organs, provided they are all working properly, function on their own, without anyone telling them what to do, but it is the brain that sends signals to different parts of the body, creating our movements and even our personalities. For instance when we wave, say hello, smile or punch a wall, it's our brain that enables the physical transaction. The brain is somewhat like a computer. It will do what it is told, but it has to be told. So who, or what, tells the brain what to do?

I used to be fascinated by the fact that most body's look so much different from one another. But for years, the outside of a person has meant very little to me, compared to what I see on the inside. I have been more curious about why people act the way they do. This article is not about religion, but I like to call my ball of energy, that runs my brain, a soul. Everyone has one from the second they are born, yet it cannot choose what body it is born into. It grows and changes to adapt to the environment. There are many factors as to why souls change after years on this Earth. Some for the better, and some for the worst. Many souls are good, bad, shy, mean, driven, smart, dumb or a combination of the many traits I could list here. The worst kind of soul, in my opinion, is the one who puts up a front to cover the characteristics they don't want other souls to know about. I call it the fake. I have always had a gift for seeing through the "Fake" soul and it has saved me a bit of frustration in life. I would more likely be friends with a soul that was an asshole before the one that is fake (liar, same think don't you think).

So this brings me to my conclusion and my purpose for writing this article. For those of you that have always tried to the right thing and treat people the way you would like to be treated. For the ones who have worked their butt off and for some reason still keep getting knocked down. For those of you who have had to start over more times than you care to recall. Just remember, at night, when we all lay our bodies down to rest, and the thoughts and feelings of the day are running through our soul, that if we stripped everything away, it is only the soul that remains. It is neither skinny nor fat, rich nor poor. Science can never dissect it because it cannot be seen, touched or tasted. It grows so fast yet it never gets any larger. And ultimately it is your soul that will eventually bring you the happiness you so deserve, and all the hard work and good you have done, will someday pay off.
