Simplicity of the Soul

I think one of the greatest things about life is the simplicity of the fundamentals. Our hearts beat for us, we breathe without control over its rhythm, we cannot stop our selves from crying or laughing. We feel love without thought. I think the unfortunate part is that we as a race have created outside sources of energy and thought. We are now controlled by rents and cars and jobs. These are now the sources of our laughter and our tears. Our worries and anxiety are all built from the world we have created. At what point are we allowed to free ourselves from this invisible bondage? At what point do we start sharing collective thoughts and live in agreement with what the earth has to offer? If we ourselves were herded into this thought process, how and when do we stop herding our children and those around us into this thought process? What is the actual meaning of religion and government? Has there ever been a point in human history without conflict or fighting? What is our overall purpose here on earth? In the grand scheme of things how is this whole plan supposed to shake out? Eventually; even with all of the wars, crime and other deaths we still have more babies being born each day than deaths of all ages. What is our endgame? Live in peace and over populate the planet? Fight in wars, burn all the oil, make the air unbreathable and die off? There is so much that one human can experience in a lifetime, it is hard to imagine what it can gather over hundreds of lifetimes. What are we supposed to do with all of these experiences? Why and how are there so many more souls on this planet that just a short time ago in history? Are our souls splintering into fragments? each one becoming its own little soul, but without the capacity to function as it would if it were whole? Kind of like a company that becomes publicly traded. The company decides how many splinters to break it up into and then it sells them. People who own more than a few are much better off than someone who owns 1 stock. Or maybe we are the company. We are allowing parts of our soul to be chipped off, and we need to learn how to gather them back up. My soul feels like it is tied to a pole right now. Unable to move or run free; I am tied down by the very thing I don't want to tied down by; Society. Yet I love the camaraderie that similarly thinking people have. I will continue to search for answers for all of these questions.
