people are more than physical matter, cells and blood, organs and skin.
joy is my personal word for that More. We were just talking about bliss. Yoda uses the Force. If you believe in religion, maybe it's the soul. It's the feeling you get when you heart swells at a beautiful sunrise, or you dance yourself to trance. It's the More of human experience.

And what else, specifically, are they made of? Unless we are to believe that human beings, of all things in the universe, are endowed with some magical property, then we have to conclude that we are made of whatever everything else is made of. If there is some magic in us, it just goes back to being defined as a physical property of the universe. Unless we, of all things that exist, are favored with some special supernatural quality.
