| Your Imaginary Soul Weighs 21 Grams
Janet Kuypers 2/25/17 Different cultures call it different things. Your spirit. Your soul. I know that we creatively believe there’s something special we possess. But this elusive imaginary creature that lives within us causes much debate. Does it even exist. Is the soul real. So I found it funny that a doctor 100 years ago wanted to measure the weight of a soul. He found people sick, dying, and he weighed them just before they were about to die — and he weighed their corpses right after death. And what do you know, there was a difference in each person — the doctor found that each person was about a quarter ounce lighter, which is about 21 grams. And, this didn’t prove anything, but it makes me wonder... is 21 ounces the weight we carry for our soul, or do some souls carry more from the weight of the world. Is that why we’re forced to share our stories, to lift our burden, so our invisible soul won’t weigh us down anymore. |
