Dawning realization

It’s hard to pin down the most profound thing I learned in Psychology, but I guess I would have to say that it was more of the dawning realization that I had while learning about neurons, neurotransmitters, and brain chemistry. At some point it just hit me that everything I have and will do is because of tiny chemical reactions in my skull, and that the same is true for everyone. I’m still rationalizing this fact today, and every now and then I think to myself: “That [conversation, action, thought, etc.] was incredibly complex, but given enough time and resources, I could probably find a chemical background for every part of it.” It’s kind of scary, but definitely awesome!
