1. What is the difference between the mind and the brain?

Brain is part of our body while mind controls our body. It’s like a computer
where the brain is the hardware, and your mind is the software. Brain is the engine of our
body where function is being done while mind acts as a fuel which made us do the
function.

2. If the human brain dies, does the mind die with it or will it continue to exist?
On my perspective, after the brain dies, mind wouldn’t exist either. These two
functions together so the absence of one another wouldn’t let one to work as it was
supposed to. Many people would claim that it would, but I beg to disagree. Our mind is
just like a car wherein our brain acts as the engine while our mind is the fuel. If an engine
locks fuel, then making it function would be impossible. Our mind controls our brain, if
ever brain dies, I believe that it’s the mind who died first.
