Who Shapes Who I am?

This thought formed in my mind as a puzzle put together. It was originally written on August 25, 2022, during the 14th year of a long journey. At the time of writing, I was influenced, and I still am, by the Hebrew scriptures, and with a basic understanding of computer science, a subject that in my way of thinking is analogous to the knowledge of our own existence as human beings, I went on to write down my thoughts about man as a being made of software and hardware parts. I wrote down many entries in my journal on the subject; entries which in time I came to call The API Series. I leave you with the overall overview of the API Series.In a sense, human beings are two-sided machines, consisting of hardware and software components. Moreover, they have the potential to write their own software. But the hardware is given to all by the creator God, who made the DNA.It is possible to create habits and to leave harmful ones if desired. The neuroplasticity of the brain allows that to be true. This fact of the brain and our volition to chose what we want, essentially rewriting our own software, is commonly known as free will.The hardware, however, is God's creation since the beginning and it will ever be his.Procreation is the system designed by God to bring more like us into the world. God owns the design of the DNA. By owning, I am implying that were there to be a court encompassing heaven and earth, God would be the legal owner of the DNA patent. As such, mankind belongs to him, and he is the rightful judge of all.Nevertheless, he made us to be partakes of the hardware part of our beings as well.When we participate in procreation, we have sons and daughters and we seem to think that we own them, that they are ours. In reality though, they are not. They are God's. Our role as parents is more a responsibility than ownership of other human beings. Our responsibility is to raise them up for him. If we embrace this truth, we could become truly social beings; we would know that no matter our earthly parents, we are from the same source.Having sons and daughters is a responsibility trusted unto us by God himself, and it is the rightful outcome of the procreation act itself. Therefore, sex is not at all a passtime, it is not intended to fulfill egotistical pursuits, it is God's design to fill the world. The fact that sex is physically pleasurable speaks of God's goodness and what duty looks like when we live for him. Our hardware is meant to be optimized by God's own software, not our own. By software I am implying written instructions to execute and have our being in this life. God's software is found in the Hebrew Tanakh.The human brain is indeed the ultimate computer system ever made in the entire universe. I believe we can create awesome software systems ourselves by understanding the way we were made by God himself.
