First of all, what is a body? Some say that a body is, like I said before, a lump of skin, muscles, bones, and other materials. Some say it is more than that. These people agree that the body is made up of skin, muscles, bones, etc., but they think the whole essence of personhood is in the body. They don't believe in souls or minds, and they think that biological processes are the only processes that take place in a body. And when these processes cease to take place, death occurs, and since, to these people, a person is a body, life ends, and that is it. There is no after life, because there is nothing other than the body, and the body is gone. It is very true that biological things happen in your body, but are there other things that happen too?

That takes me to my next question: what is a soul? This q

I believe that a person is their psychological essence and their soul. When you ask yourself what kind of a person someone is, what pops in your head? Probably personality traits like how friendly they are, what kind of a sense of humor they have, or how they interact with other people. None of these things have to do with the physical body. Most people when considering a person tend to consider their psychological traits. I believe that there is a good reason for this. A person simply is their personality traits. A body is simply a shell. It houses the soul and psychological essence until death when the soul departs from the body. I believe that the body can play an important role in developing the psychological side of a person though. I believe that, for example, if a person is overweight, he or she may turn out to be self-conscience or shy. This is a psychological trait, but it was affected by something physical. It would be ridiculous to say that a person is not affected by their surroundings, and a person's body is definitely a surrounding. I don't think that the body makes the person though. To me it doesn't matter what a person looks like on the outside,
