Comment on The universe has no concept of happiness or sadness. It is up to us to find things that make us happy (or sad if that's what we want).

I love the freedom of nihilism, our brain chemicals are the only thing making us happy or sad, they create morals, love, hate.

You know what, I guess in a way hormones are more human than the brain itself?

Nah, hormones are just a chemical compound. It’s the brain that gives them meaning. Which itself is pointless without the body which gives it context.

We’re really the whole package - you’re as much your legs as you are your brain.

Modern research usually shows that - your body and your mental health are deeply connected. A trauma physically alters your brain. How you feel directly shapes how healthy you are. And how healthy you are shapes how you feel.
