“I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.”

“Do I have a soul?”
Was he a sack of meat controlled by a biological computer that evolved over millions of years? Or could he make choice?
Was he happy, or was it just chemicals?
Did he love his wife and children or was he just a slave
to serotonin and dopamine?
Was anything he experienced really experienced? Or was it all just reacting to stimuli with pre-coded responses?
This is a question often asked by humans. Some find their answer, and some don´t. Some choose to live as slaves to their chemicals, adopting nihilism. They are weak, they are the ones who are too scared to see goodness in the world, too scared to accept that they are a product of their own choices, good or bad.”
― Scales of Happiness
