We all sometimes wonder why some people behave like "animals". We even wonder where our own rages and wild feelings of chaos originate. Although we might find them unusual as they can conflict with our values, indeed, animalistic behavior is as much a part of us as our skin. While skin is there to protect our inner organs and vessels, animalistic behavior is there to protect existence of physical being---an outer skin of sorts.The physical realm of our being only has one objective: survival. In its rawest form, body must remain intact and it will do so at any risk to its surroundings. Beat up neighbor. Get food. Kick dog. Procreate. Survive at all costs! It is never satisfied with anything. When half-full glass is filled, it wants a bigger glass.
Perhaps Universe realized that it erred up by putting out an organism that would go so far as to kill and destroy just to get food. Imagine what would happen at fast food joints at lunch time! So, to balance strength and instincts of physical, Universe developed creative intellect of soul. The souler being is easily satisfied and is bent on happiness, living, and enjoying. Or, was this blatant survival mode of physical creation intended to behave as such to protectively house its souler component? Which one came first?
I know this sounds like old "chicken and egg", but indeed, it is a valid question to ponder. However, consider variations to ideas of physical and souler interaction and existence. If indeed body came first, then soul is instantiated simply to control instincts of physical. But, if soul came first, then each body is created solely for an individual soul to live, grow, and learn in this physical Universe. What a wonderful combination! A calm, cool, and collected soul to manage an out of control physical host. This means that two are together for a reason, but are separate.
In today's world, by applying some of these thoughts, indeed, it seems that we tend to focus more on physical because thirst for physical fulfillment is unquenchable. However, while obtaining satisfaction for soul is actually simple, we've been taught that "never two shall meet" as our society readily concedes to physical and rarely accepts virtual, conceptual, non-physical realm of souler.
