Soup.
Humans are a kind of soup.
Humans are just a 'micro-organism' soup,
sprinkled with about 30 or 40 trillion cells.
We all need love and the love of others,
we do what we've been programmed to do,
our up-bringing,
our environmental influences and our genes,
conditioned,
psychologically trained to think and act in certain ways,
to survive,
to defend ourselves and our families,
living what we think is right,
doing what we need to do to get by.
Of the 25 known elements essential for life, just four of these – carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
make up about 96% of the 'soup' that is the human body.
The other 4% is football.
That 'soup' thinks that money is the root of all evil,
that their religion is the right one,
and that mother-inlaws are difficult to get on with,
but that 'soup' is just doing what it needs to do to get by.
That blend of 'soup' is human.
We live.
We're alive.
We are a 'soup' capable of performing functions like,
like eating other soups,
metabolizing and excreting,
we breath and move and grow,
we reproduce and respond to external influences.
This 'soup' thinks leaf blowers are cool,
one 'bowl of soup' invented the tax system,
and lots of other bowls of 'soup' thought that was a fab idea!
but they were all just doing what we needed to do to get by.
This chemical blend of 'soup' makes us human.
We live in tribes,
bowls of 'soup' arranged in certain regions.
each with tribal leader 'bowl of soup'.
The Russian 'bowls of soup'
know nothing but what their leader tells them.
The Ukrainians don't want to be at war with this 'bowl of soup',
Ukrainian 'bowls of soup' want peace.
Iranian 'bowls of soup' don't want to be caught by their leaders 'morality police',
'bowls of soup' with guns.
The British 'bowls of soup' like beer
and wish their mens football team would win something for once - anything!
but,
as a chemical,
micro-organism bowl of soup
...they're really only just doing what they need to do to get by.
