21 grams...



"They say each and every person decreases by 21 grams at the time of their death, each and every single person. That's the size of four nickels stacked together, or four hummingbirds...how much does love weigh? How much does guilt weigh? How much does revenge weigh? ...21 grams..."

Granted...clips from a trailer...but really how much does love, guilt or even revenge weigh? When we die...what exactly escapes..

Now now, calm down all you scientists I'm reallyy not looking for a factual proven answer here..
I'm really searching for something more..something that gives us more to believe in..something that leaves us with some hope

21 grams...interesting that a hummingbird is amazingly small and yet, of all the animals it has the largest heart in proportion to it's size. Even its eyes are bigger than its brain. But as humans...for the most part...this is what we rely on, our BRAINS, PROVEN FACTS and FIGURES.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I am here to say...It's Time We Woke Up!...I'll gladly offer you a free wake up call..consider it concierge service...We are a proving is believing generation, seeing and believing in pure faith is not enough. We need numbers and figures, ratios and proportions, calculations and contraptions. We are tired of optical illusions and even question the gift of sight...


Guess we have a lot to learn from the bantam but breathtaking creatures...

So how much does our love weigh? Our guilt? Our revenge?

More specifically...how much does our soul weigh?
...21 grams?
