Logical thought would point to the wiring of the brain to explain all thought, but as you have pointed out, emotion is difficult to define logically. My mind tells me there must be a way to "Feel" that is caused by the complex structure of neural connections that constitute the human brain, but I have no idea what it consists of, and so I need to guess. It is this incomplete understanding of the brain that forces us to consider there is something more to us, than our parts can define....thus we have the soul, which to me is a result of conciousness.
With thought, comes the need to know. The need to know leads us to create answers when they are not obvious to our form of perception. It is the ability to imagine new realities that make us who we are....
Complex, Compassionate Creatures, Currently Caught in Conscious Confusion, Capable of Conquering thru Collective Cognisance.
