What makes us...?

I will ask you, what makes you human. You will answer, it's simple, body. If I hadn't got eyes, wouldn't I see, or stare at? If I hadn't got ears, wouldn't I listen, or hear tell? If I hadn't got a body, would it be a life, or just a null existence? You will answer, it's simple, soul. Without her, I'm just a man, not a person, aren't I? Could I be nobody with soul, or somebody without any? You will answer, it's simple, mind. How could I live, with no thinking? Without feelings, emotions? What kind of man would I be, if I didn't have them? You will answer, it's simple, heart. If I hadn't got it, would I have been able to love? What would the world be? Can I love TO MUCH, or TOO LITTLE? Love is a perfection, isn't it? You won't answer. It's too hard. Questions, without answer. I will ask you, what makes you human?
