Stuff and some words from the soul.
I'm feeling a bit down as of late. Well, more down than usual. Right now I'm at a loss as of what to do with myself. I sent in an application to McDonalds a week ago in hopes of getting a job, but they haven't called back and that's not a good sign obviously. I wanted to get a job so that I could get some money so that I can move out of my grandparents's house. Maybe out of this county if I work long enough. Aside from getting a job, I'm supposed to start college next week. I'm not exactly thrilled about it, to say the least. I don't know how I'm going to get there, when my classes are, WHAT my classes are, or even a good idea of the layout of the college itself. My dad was the one that signed me up without my approval, so he's the one that's going to be responsible for my failure. My original plan was to do something "destructive" enough so that I could be expelled. I don't think I'll have to do that with the grades I'm going to churn out, whether they truly reflect my own intellect or if I fail on purpose. So, that's it for current events. What I'd like to do now is some sort of "freeform rant". It's just things that have deep meaning to me and what I think about them. Well... here it goes.

Humans, as a single being, consist of three major abstractions: Thought, emotion, and will. All three are said to be controlled or stored within the brain. This is especially true for thought, but the other two parts are contained in their respective vessels. Emotions, as which the popular metaphor dictates, are from the heart. Though, not the organ that sustains life of the human body, but rather the symbol of where feelings are kept. Will, better known as willpower, comes from the spirit, or soul to some. All three of these keep humans from being mindless beings on a larger scale by not just being able to process thought, but not being able to feel any life at all within them. These abstractions exist within each human... Or at least that is what is lead to be true. What if it were possible that a human can exist without even one of the three abstractions? There are two popular "pop-culture" myths that serve as an idea of this. Zombies are beings that have no thought or emotion mainly because their brains are nonfunctional to think or to know what feeling is. They run on sheer willpower to survive. Robots, on the other hand, posses no emotion or will. They do not have emotion because it is a concept in which only human brains can process from the heart in which robots do not possess. They "think" but cannot think for themselves and therefore lack will. There are no beings to my knowledge that have only emotion, as such a being would be quite difficult to know how it is so.

Wow. That was something... incredibly deep. I didn't think I'd be able to get that sucker out. Then again, this is only small part of my "Human Abstraction Theories". Yes, I just now noticed it would be HAT in acronym form. Anyway, I'll put the next part in my next post because right now... it's bedtime.
