We often put this invisible mental barrier between out skin and the environment. I personally prefer to not have this barrier. We are mixed up with the environment. Our body exchanges molecules with the environment. Matter goes in, matter goes out. We might as well not say "in" and "out" anymore. Also, I find it weird that we also want to mentally separate our internal and external organs from their surroundings. Like the heart, lungs, legs and hands. I like to see things as one ginormous blob that encases everything in the universe. I also find it difficult to understand how scientists separate living organisms by specie. All living things differ from one to another. Why say that some difference is within the same specie and some other difference is part of another specie. Like the chicken and egg. Which came first : This white oval thing that some day, we suddenly recognize as an egg. This meaty feathered animal that some day, we suddenly recognize as a chicken. There is a point when the egg becomes an egg and a point when a chicken becomes a chicken. It starts as not being an egg. You move one molecule and suddenly it becomes an egg. It starts as not being a chicken. You move one molecule and suddenly it becomes a chicken. The answer is which is recognized first as an egg or a chicken. No separation. No bodies. No organs. No species.
