The notion is, the correlation between our mind and our emotions – spoken about through all philosophers, religious systems, but synthesized perfectly and best – simply, in Kabbalah.

The mind is like a keyboard.

The emotions are like the software program.

The thoughts are like the screen.

In other words, a human being as all animal, has the capacity to never think – which means to determine their choices – they can simply allow their emotional reaction, mainly love and fear, be the force that automatically will determine their behavior – “I don’t do this because I am afraid of pain or shame,” “I do do this because I desire the instinctual pleasure,” such as eating, which is why so many of us have such problems dieting, for we are not consciously thinking, we are subconsciously thinking.

This is why animals are not happy, for they can sense no greater purpose to their lives.

We humans though, have a soul, a part of God, which is desperate to make our lives and the world around us meaningful, filled with meaning!
