Your brain is your life
Have you ever stopped to realize that you owe everything you are to your brain?
If someone asks you who you are, what do you say?
Maybe you say something like, “My name is John. I am a twenty-seven-year-old man of African descent, and I currently work as an elementary school teacher in Dallas, Texas.”
Instinctively, you and John both know that there is much more to you. John loves most of all to be in the presence of great art.
The hair on the nape of his neck stands up when he smells freshly fallen rain. Both of you have experienced a great range of love and suffering throughout your life. How can one name or one identity sum up all of this?
