We are more then just nerves. We are, us. I am, and always will be, me. Nerves may be what allows me to feel and see and tase and hear, but it do not give me my feeling of love and joy. I could live a happy, loving life without my sight and voice. If I had no sences, life would be harder but I could live and I would live. Our basic form is made of many things, and to a sence we are a machine. But we are special. We have the mind and a soul. It is true we are animals and they have minds and souls too but our is the most advanced, or so we think anyways. We are so much more then our phyiscal form. Our forum it just what we use to help us understand what is around us. When we are done with it (death) we go back to our pure form and take what we learn with us.
