Menschlicher Körper und Geist setzen sich aus unzähligen Ingredienzien zusammen. All diese Komponenten machen mich zu einem Individuum mit einer eigenen Persönlichkeit. Sicher, mein Gesicht und meine Stimme unterscheiden mich auch von anderen. Aber mein Verstand und meine Erinnerungen gehören nur mir und ich besitze das Bewusstsein meines Schicksals. All dies sind Teilaspekte des Ganzen. Ich nehme Information auf und verarbeite sie auf meine Weise. Aus dem Zusammenwirken all dieser Vorgänge entsteht mein Ich und das Bewusstsein meiner Persönlichkeit.
There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience.
