Flesh & Blood

We became immortals. No we can become immortals. No, no we are God. Who are we? The people. The human race. We found the grail. And guess what is inside us. The only thing that remains now is to find how we are going to use it. You didn’t finger it out yet? The grail is the genes. We have it we almost mapped it and if we have all the information, soon we will have the solution to everything. We can do almost everything. We search all our quests: where we come from, what we are made of, how we function. And we have answers. We are made of something; we function in a certain way we have people to fix us when we are ill. In a few years we will have brand new organs to replace. What else we need. We are God. We know everything. Oups and we are machines. Here we are powerful with our gene map trying to find a way to the evolutionary future. But how we can find a way with a map that we don’t know how to read, with a map we don’t understand. In a way we can probably find ways to fix our problems find a way to live forever but are we humans? How we used ourselves this way? We succeed to give value to one thing and forgot all the others. We let a micro form to be in charge for our macro form. Our bodies became factories and our identity lost, factories giving information about the genes. So are the genes what makes us humans? We have the certain genotype but really that is all that makes as human? It seems that it is all that matters. But is it really? I cannot imagine that all we are is that. Where is our flesh, our blood, our soul, our thoughts, our relationships with the other people, our interactions with them with the environment, our lives? I thought that those are the things that give as value, make us humans. Where are those in the genes? How you see a sequence and you can speak about what humans are, where they belong? We are presented like a sequence of chemicals. We don’t have any other substance. We can be used in order to produce information. And that’s the only thing that matters. No relationships, no environment, no thoughts. We are machines. And if we are not yet, we will become soon. We are not God. We are intelligent machines, living a life that we cannot recognize, cannot frame, and cannot give definition of. Belonging somewhere that we cannot say for sure what it is, how we rate it. We are now copyrighted, a patent that is repeating again and again. Through the genes we are immortals through the human identity we are common mortals. Through the genes we are a sequence through the human identity we are relationships, thoughts, values. The genes give as our body, the relations and the interactions with other living beings and the environment gives us our human identity. We are flesh and blood, yes we are genes, but what we understand what we think what we feel are relationships, not gene sequences.
