I do not want, I do not remember, do not know who I amonce saw on TV, in one of those programs that Sunday, a report in which it had cases of people with Alzheimer's interviewing family doctors, I do not remember much really. It was as a kid, but I remember being shocked to learn that the thing was so ugly.
The strongest moment, I think, was when a patient's daughter explained how her mother so suddenly, that used to be so affectionate with her, had forgotten. The "I do not want to" me thinking. Where was that was the feeling? ie, the fact of loving someone. Something as "soul" . Terrible. It was as if it were an evil that corrupted the soul.
The disease initially affects memory. But it happens that our memory is virtually everything we are. Language, our skills, our tastes, everything is a set of memories applied at the right time. Our way of being, to unfold, talk!, All based on memories, experiences, memory.
The functioning of the human mind is complex but not unfathomable. Neuroscience has identified how our behavior changes in the presence of certain chemicals and even with direct manipulation (physical) brain. Decades of research in brain chemistry have led to the identification of many substances (produced and assimilated) associated with each mental process. All that we ever heard that "being in love is equivalent to consuming large amounts of chocolate" . Of course that's a cool way to say it, but the point is that our mind is essentially a complicated but spectacularly beautiful system of chemical reactions.
If we assume that we have souls, knowing that memory, behavior and character come directly from the brain chemistry, we have to accept that the soul is not part of something special and has no memory .
Must be a joke
terrible for the souls suffering in hell and not remember why do not you?. The reality is that our memory, being chemical, simply disappears when we die, it breaks down.
For my part, having thought about it, I could only conclude that the soul does not exist. It was not easy and took time. The concept of mind it occurred to anyone. As well as someone thought the whole issue of life after death. Have I completed
wrong?
