How did you feel about yourself

after failing to do certain activities

That you normally do easily?
Did you appreciate the
importance
of a very small part of your body?
 Did you know that humans are
the only animals on
Earth with fully opposable
thumbs?
Opposable refers to the ability of
the thumb to lie across
The palm, perpendicular to the
four fingers.

playing sports like tennis
or basketball. Apes cannot
lift bodies and dance as

 WE love to watch movies
about superheroes
Because they showcase
amazing feats that ordinary
human beings simply cannot
do. Superman can fly;
Ironman can survive an
explosion of tons of heat.
 What interests us in this
example is how these
projections people have on
superman indirectly reveal
the limitations we come to
terms with everyday.
Human existence is embodied existence.
Many things that are related to our
existence as persons are related to our
bodies- age , sex, race, relationships
etc.
 Gender is not completely
synonymous with sex. Gender is
Defined culturally rather than
biologically. Race or our line of
descent
Among groups of the first
human beings in our evolution is
determined
By our bodies
 Finally our biological
relationships –
mother father and
siblings are connected
to our embodied
existence.
CONFINE comes from
the Latin Confinis
made of two words:
con- together
Finis – limit/territory

person as defined by the union of
body and
Spirit. The human person is an
embodied spirit. Not only are the
body and spirit
United, but they are also integrated
with each other.
