You are the only one.
Think about that for a moment.
Now read the following slowly and very thoughtfully.
Think of 3 things that ONLY you can do. Maybe you have heard that others can do it too, but you don't personally know anybody that can.
Now think of a place you have been, possibly an experience you had there.
Think of your family, each specific member, their specific quirks.
Now, think of each of these as a piece to your large complex puzzle of personality, character, and soul.
If you had not experienced ANY of these things, you would not at all be the person you are today.
YOU are the only YOU. You cannot be anybody else, ever. You are too experienced at being yourself. You know yourself too well. You are the only one that ever knows what you're thinking, or what you are going to do next.
I think you get my point.
Worship who you are. All your quirks, those things you do that your mom used to do, the phrases you say that you picked up from your husband, the way you sit like your great grandmother when you're thinking about your next move.
Events, people, and places in your life, all timed perfectly, make YOU.
There is too much proof for anyone to tell me that there is not a plan. I believe in God personally, I have friends that do not, but that DO believe in a higher power, whether it be Karma, Buddah, Energy, or pure science. You cannot tell me that this great puzzle of your life, has not been planned out in one form or another.
Now, consider everything above....
We are about to take a sharp science turn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_brain_injury
That is a Wikipedia article about how traumatic brain injury can cause complete personality change...
it's worth a perusal.
Usually it involves damage to the frontal lobe which controls aggression.
I have heard of a story of a woman whose husband had a work accident and this very thing happened. He became a violently angry man (who wouldn't be after an iron rod through the head... but seriously) for apparently no reason at all.
NOW this can't help but beg the question ... if we are who we are because of our experiences, do these experiences (our soul if you will) still play as significant a role in our *outside* (for lack of better words) lives, when our scientific and physical brain is injured.
The mental aspect of the brain is still widely studied because it is still a very mysterious topic.
It's not just psychology as we mentioned before, its the spiritual nature of a person.
So this is NOT religion versus science. Atheists still have beliefs and morals, with no practicing religion.
This is a question of the established human nature versus a scientific physical change.
So tomorrow morning when YOU wake up...
YOU will be eating the breakfast YOU like, waking up at the time which suits YOU best to get to work/school/video games on time, YOU will kiss your spouse/mom/girlfriend goodbye, YOU will bike/walk/drive to work/school, to do the job YOU are trained and paid to do.
When you stop feeling like that special little individual snowflake.. on the outside, you're not really, you're unique just like everybody else, BUT
YOU are the only one.
:-D I love being contradictory.
