Matter – a different outlook

How can a bunch of atoms , given bound together in an intricate manner that I believe we will never get the answer to have the ability to wield something as powerful as emotions. Emotions are something that we have never been able to fully comprehend and replicate outside living matter. How can a human brain which sometimes is nothing more than matter and sometimes greater than the world itself is able to demonstrate contrast as stark as being able to kill millions yet display immense love for one’s pet. Puzzle ourselves over something as trivial as neighbourhood gossip and try to unravel the mysteries if the universe itself. It is what gives people the ability to separate the right from wrong , maintain perspective and manage something as illogical and yet so desired as love. After all it is nothing more than just matter.
