There are many things that we humans possess that make us unique from other creatures. There are also many things about us that boggle our minds and make us ask what they are and why they are there. All in all, human beings possess many things that are hard to explain or are vast in nature to grasp conceptually. Here are a list of some
1) Recognition of the soul:- The soul is a controversial issue. There are many that argue that it doesn't exist at all. There are also many that argue that it is part of an essential nature of all beings especially humans. What makes it unique to us is, it is believed that our soul is the most valuable one and is the only one worth living after death. We humans among all creatures are also the only ones that recognize and ask and wonder about such entity. What makes the soul controversial is that it is not observable.
We humans feel that we have a soul. We feel and have this sense that we are a lot more than just physical entities.
If there is such a thing as the soul what is it? Where is it? Is it the human soul that is the only worthy one to exist after death? Do other creatures have soul? Why can't it be observed by the physical media? Is it immortal?
There are many questions that can potentially be asked of the soul if it exists. The fact that we are the only creatures on this planet that we know as of now that ask such questions makes us unique. The fact that it is unobservable by any physical media makes it an amazing entity if it exists.
2) There are certain sounds that are unbearable for us to hear but frequencies differ from person to person:- There are certain sound frequencies that are naturally unbearable for us to hear. Imagine a person scraping a blackboard with his/her nails really hard. Imagine the sound that comes with it. For many this is a very disgusting sound and is somehow unbearable to experience. Why is it unbearable? Why does the unbearable frequency differ from person to person.
3) The power of belief:- Some may argue that believing in something has no power whatsoever in the physical realm. Well scientific studies do prove them wrong. According to medical researches done on volunteers, patients were amazingly cured when given dummy tablets when they believed that it was real. The question is how did that happen? What is the connection between thought and reality? Does believing make things happen?
4) Hope:- Hope is arguably one of the greatest strength and weakness of human beings. Although may sometimes be blinding and a blurring agent for us to see real truth clearly, it is one of the greatest if not the greatest mechanisms that helps us overcome barriers, cross the uncrossable, rejoice in a time of sorrow, relax in a time of stress and full of life in the face of death.
Hope may be a feel of reality that may or may not be real. SO is hope a feeling that occurs because things to look forward to are real or is it just a feeling that occurred in order to give us strength and encourage us.
5) Imagination (Reality outside of reality):- Though imagination may not be recognized as real, it does mimic reality to a certain extent and gets one almost to the state of realness. It is amazing and also frighting what our imagination may do to us. In rare cases there are people who see, smell and taste things that they imagine. Imagination again is something that is believed to be uniquely given to us amongst all other creatures.
Is imagination just a thought? Could it be a level of existence?
6) Dream:- Dream like imagination comes out of thought process. Again just like imagination, it does take one almost and maybe quite to the state of realness as it can. What is dream? Is it another reality? Is it another existence? Is it just a thought process? Is it a lower level of existence? Is it a higher level of conciseness? What is it?
