We don't remember what we were before we were alive in this physical form. We choose to stay alive in this physical form. It is a great gift to be alive. We can look at all the other bodies around us and see that we are obviously not alone in this world. Other's share our pain and our joy. Just by being born we have an effect on the lives of other people. But this body, this physical form, is only a vessel for our "soul". Our soul is what makes us different from every other person. It is my personal belief that our soul is the same thing as our mind. Our body gives our soul a chance to experience life and what it means to be alive. To have memories. To love and to hate. To feel pain and joy. We have to remember that we are not a collection of memories. We are not our professions. We are not what others see when they look at us or even the way we try to project ourselves to the world. Inside we are a mind truly capable of anything, but limited by the body we are given. Even so, we should embrace this chance to be alive. Our body will die. Our soul will live on. Of course this is all just hope. But we need hope. I need hope. This body holding me can't be all that I am. My mind can't be just a series of synaptic connections and chemical reactions. There is more to us than science will ever even begin to explain. I highly recommend the Ender's Game book series by Orson Scott Card for anybody who like's this song and want to read an excellent book that gets deeper into what we are and what makes us human. Ending thought: Try and empathize with people. People act a certain way because their body is imperfect. There is a reason for everything, nomatter how irrational. Learn to love others nomatter how much they hate you. It is hard. I know. Damn do I ever know. I am imperfect, too. I hope you all find happiness without sacrificing the happiness of anybody else. Good tidings and Farewell.
