The human individual

What is a human individual? That is an interesting question, which also includes the question, who am I? Maybe there are some who want to know who I am, well, that seems not easy to find out. Completely to know who I am, is impossible for us humans to find out here on Earth. Whether the answer is to find far away out in the outer space, do we not know, but it is thinkable that the answer not can be found in that way. Will it be possible to see it all in microscopes and things like that? It is not thinkable either. It is the same for you, you know that you exists, but you can not know completely who you are. It is the same for all the others too; they do not know completely who they are either.

We humans on Earth have to live with the certainty that it is something more; that we do not know about our selves, each other, and the world. All we know about must have a cause. What we do not know, have to do with the cause which we do not know what is.

Our world here on Earth looks like a system which makes it possible to make construction materials, form the basis of higher forms of life and cultural development. Therefore the existence of our human race on Earth today can be the intention with it all. It is impossible that all this can come out of nothing. Nothing can come out of nothing.

We humans call ourselves intelligent. But are we intelligent enough to see how intelligent our world is made? We ought to understand a great deal.

A human individual today is a part of the society and the historical development. The societies form the individuals, and the individuals form the societies. The history forms us, and we form the future.

A human individual are something more than a machine, that is the same for each and every one of us.
