questions

what do you consider to be your self?

body?
mind?
thoughts?
opinions?
habits?
traits?
preferences?
talents?
wants?
goals?
purpose?
problems?
genes?
DNA?
soul?
spirit?

will any of these things last forever?

all of these things are observable.  we observe them with the brain.  everything you think is you boils down to functionality that is inseparable from the universe.

so what is really you?

are you the universe?

does it feel that way?

when you think about yourself and your needs and your life, what exactly are you referring to by calling all those things yours?

regarding the belief that the soul will last forever.  that the soul will last forever is unprovable.  it is just a belief, which is a widely held thought, which is based on the existence of the brain and the brain can only function in the universe.

so where is this soul?

where is the you, you assume you are?

Make the lie big,
make it simple,
keep saying it,
and eventually they will believe it.

Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 per cent
Of everything you think,
And of everything you do,
Is for yourself —
And there isn't one.

. . Wei Wu Wei

To write something and leave it behind us,
It is but a dream.
When we awake we know There is not even anyone to read it.
