The Gift Of Consciousness; How Often Do We See The Dependability Of The Mind On Our Fragile Bodies?

Life's beautiful, the feeling of having this consciousness that allows us to express freedom, dominion and freewill is what we always want to cling on to, irrespective of the difficulties that actually comes with it. One of the many reasons why we fear death is because we don't know how it feels like to be stripped away of our consciousness, to be stifled, lose the ability to breath to be away fro our loved ones. The moment we're born, our mental awareness of our environment begins to mature, take shape and store in our memories, becomes part of our essence so much that we wouldn't really be us it it's totally stripped away. Life is huge and our mental connection with our physical state makes up our consciousness and this is of course the core self that we project.

The truth is we all share the same fear, irrespective of how strong we mentally are, our bodies does not really share the same kind of strength which our mind has. This is because the mind is limitless but our bodies are. If the body shared an equal amount of limitlessness like the mind then we would be formidable, unstoppable and this might just mean we'll create endless possibilities simply because we know we're not fragile both mentally and physically. However our existence is characterized by limitations. Sickness, disease, age and death and this somehow even limits the possibilities that's created by the mind, reducing it into mere fantasies without any chance of actualisation.

Our consciousness is something we treasure especially when we know how beautiful it is to be alive, although sometimes some people do not see anymore necessities to be alive and that's why suicide is always in contention. Sometimes our will to stay alive is often truncated by our desires to not stay alive and when this happens the mind is resolved to lose its consciousness, be stripped of that ability to exist and that's how suicide is born. However in most cases the will to live is often stronger than any other state and that's why people fight, stay hopeful even when the doctors feel they might not have a chance. Like I said earlier. Death is unknown, something the mind cannot comprehend even in its sheer complexity.

This is one of the reasons why people find the resolve to stay alive. Death is incomprehensible and the fear of slipping into it without one's mind gradually coming to accept it's inevitability is the biggest motivation that keeps people staying alive. However there's also this innate desire to continue existing, we love being alive by default and we've been designed to generally fear anything that threatens our existence. So we're like an improper fraction. By design we're not 100% made into a perfect projectory because this would of course mean we're flawless but had we been designed to be flawless lacking no imperfections then we'd be chaos not only to ourselves but to our fellow humans and the society at large.

It's imperative to know that being designed to reach a certain limit is probably the best for the human race. Sometimes it seems unfair that we have the most powerful tool embedded into us (the mind) but then our body act as a check to the extent of endless possibilities that can be created by the mind. However this isn't a mistake and that's obviously one reason why I feel evolution is a myth and man is an all round designed that's properly carved out. All in all, our consciousness matters a whole lot to us and this is because without it our mind is dead as well. However it'll get to a stage in life where we'd marvel at how it seems beautiful to be alive, how we can enjoy the masterpiece of creation, the bond we share with people who are close to us and how it's difficult to let go. At the end of the day, our bodies will slowly communicate to our mind that death is inevitable and this is when we begin to find closure.
