Thoughts on the soul

intro :)

Dreams, aspirations, goals...

What's the point of it all...

There will always be people who are better, faster, stronger, wiser, thinner, prettier, etc. and vice versa as well. I'm just a molecule of water in a vast world of life... the larger the place the smaller I feel... I mean, if compare myself to the universe and unknown then I'm the most insignificant thing alive. But then again, so is everyone else... on another note, what is the meaning of life. Biblically everyone was made perfect. Then why are people so flawed. In all honesty, the word "perfect" is an inverted paradox. If everyone was perfect, then there would be no such thing, and vice versa. If each individual species and being was crafted for a specific purpose to fulfill in this life, then what is that? Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? Let's try to think through this logically. Who... me? You? Us? Them? God? Or some other higher power? No. this paradoxical phenomenon that occurs... us... that's who... every living soul... now, what? The meaning for our existence... When? before, after and in between... future past and present... that's when. Where? Everywhere, here, there, the known, the unknown, and the farthest reaches of the infinite human imagination... that's where. Why? Curiosity, wonder, rebellion, fascination, and why not... there is nothing stopping us but ourselves from exploring these things. How? Tis not a matter of research or problem solving or understanding... it does not matter your skill level, young and old. Rich and poor. Dumb, mute, or blind. Disabled or healthy. Happy or sad. All those things are completely irrelevant. We should just ignore them. But that is not at all easy, nothing is... who's fault it is? No ones... not mine not yours. If anything I blame emotion. And self-control. The deadly combination of the emotion and the lack of self-control nowadays is destructive. Internally and externally... there has to be a balance between logic and emotion. Emotion is beautiful, somewhat like a rose, but it also has terrible thorns. Emotion pushes and pulls at the heart and soul. Logic, on the other hand, can also be destructive. Sociopathy is probably the extreme of this. Having absolutely no feeling for others. Living only for what logically benefits yourself. Although psychopathy probably lies at the other end of the spectrum. But then again, those are just the extremes, without mention of the in-between. However, since there is no such thing as perfect, then a perfectly balanced person would be impossible without medicinal intervention. ie, psych drugs, steroids, etc. anyway, this explains why everyone leans either to one side or the other. It is in part, of how your personality is created. As an individual, I tend to lean towards the more emotional side of this, which is common among most humans.

Let's discuss the human soul...

Our soul is what makes us human, but before I get into that matter I should probably, explain what exactly a human is. To go down to the most basic of a human creature. We are microscopic molecules, then we are cells, then bones, muscle, flesh and eventually blood. But that in itself is not what makes us human. These are all just physical material things. At this simple point, we are nothing but lifeless zombies. Going through the motions... but the brain gives us knowledge and the soul gives us wisdom. But even a brain and body is worthless without a soul because once again the brain is a physical thing composed of neurons and fibers. The soul is what makes us whole. Now, I know I keep talking about the soul... but what even is a soul, well, there are many perceptions of what a soul is, and in complete honesty, nobody really knows what it is. There is no right or wrong answer. The way I view souls is. The soul is a very old phenomenon, dating back even before the creation of mankind... I believe that souls are minuscule fragments of the galaxy and stars that were scattered throughout the universe. Souls are sources of old forgotten magic dusted across the stars as a gift to bring individuality and life to humanity. The world was dark and cold (literally and metaphorically)and souls were the spark to ignite the warmth that cultivates the known and unknown. Souls can be influenced by other souls... when a soul sours or corrupts it can affect others. A soul is not fully formed until the moment it dies. The soul brings emotion and as a human goes throughout life whatever they experience affects their souls. The average wise souls are usually the ones with the most experiences. The wisest souls are often tormented, regretful, touched by pain and love. People often talk about how their hearts hurt when they are hurt emotionally, but what is really happening is their soul was hurt. In a way, it is unfair to the soul itself, because as soon as it finally develops, it is given rebirth and given to someone new. In a colorless world, the soul shines. There is no extent as to which one can truly understand pain. And there is so much pain it would take infinite lifetimes just to attempt to untangle a single knot of madness. There are too many soured souls, bloodshed and spite and hatred. Pure souls are the hardest to find.
