We are all made of dead people.

[ChristineM]

When something or someone dies cells decompose and are usually reabsorbed into the ground and air.

Atoms and molecules which will contain a percentage of past organic matter will be picked up as nutrient by grasses plants or washed into streams and rivers.

They will potentially become part of the food chain which eventually will be consumed by human beings.

The human body uses the food it eats and water it drinks to sustain itself, to build bone, muscle and tissue.

In this way we are all (at least partly) made of dead people.

Thoughts?

 

[Polymath257]

Dead people, dead animals, dead plants. yes.

of course, those encased in metal containers don't recycle as readily.

Another thought: every breath you take contains molecules exhaled by Ceasar's dying breath.

 

[VoidCat]

Why am I not bothered by this?

What about Castro's cigar smoke?

Hitler's farts?

Hitler's farts?

Napoleon's bad breath?

Hitler's farts?

OK, that one bothers me....

"Remember, man, thou art but dust, and unto dust thou shalt return". That is what the priest used to say in the Ash Wednesday service, as he inscribed a cross on the foreheads of his parishioners with a thumb dipped in ash.

I always thought that was rather a good thing to be reminded of, once a year.

I was made from my mom, she is living. Since we all have/had living moms that made us, we are all made from living people.

"We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden"

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

we are the temporary crests of waves in the vast expanse of the ocean of living water...

I like E=M.c2

YES:
1) Thoughts are energy and as such they can even materialize (according to E=m.c2)
2) So homoeopathy does work. Energy materializes.
3) So even some Atheist might have a small particle of Jesus in them (or Atheists are the ones without it)
4) If I think "I am God", maybe "I become God"; but then of course "God as per my thought"
5) Does DNA transfer from cells obtained from "dead people/vegetables etc", or when a life fly donates to you?

Some wise men did say "Let food be thy medicine" ... "You are what you eat"

Just some thoughts ...

I feel a bout of polyplatitudia coming on.

 

[Stanyon]

After hearing this news I'd imagine that necrophiliacs will spend at least the next week in a state of constant sexual arousal.

There is a little bacon in each of us.

Clearly, you don't have enuf bacon.

if you took all of the people (their bodies)
and piled them in one place.....the Grand Canyon
we would not fill that crevasse

seems we don't amount to much in terms of resource tonnage

 

[LuisDantas]

I once had a teacher that was big on the distinction between the water from the city's public services, which "had gone through our systems several times", and othe water that presumably did not and was therefore in some sense purer and/or healthier.

It had a lot of appeal, until you stopped to consider that it made no sense. Water molecules do no segregate themselves from each other in sharply distinct groups that are convenient to humans.

I and 2 seem to me to be absolute nonsense and rest fairly random.

Why am I not bothered by this?

Perhaps like me, its a case of thats how it is.
