    You’re an electrified hunk of fat piloting a meat-covered skeleton riding on a damp rock that’s hurling through space and time.

      It’s weird that we, as people, think that our being or self ends at our skin. And we’re just a consciousness controlling a meat cube.

      What about all the bacteria living on and inside of us? People would die without their microflora.

      What about our subconscious/unconscious doings/thoughts? Are we in control of them? Or are they in control of us? Could consciousness be an illusion? One created by our senses’ interpretation of external stimuli.
