A Concept: Souls Without Bodies.

If humans were stripped of our appearance, we'd have nothing to criticize.

A life without our physical attributes we humans refer to as appearance. No faces. No bodies. Perhaps simply illuminating orbs of light; maybe variating in color.

How much simpler would life be? We wouldn't have bodies nor faces, so that'd eliminate the need for luxuries such as clothing or makeup -- material possessions that humans don't need yet spend most of our lives trying to obtain.

It'd also eliminate the need for money since humans would now be orbs of light floating in the atmosphere amongst all the cosmos. These things -- money, clothing, makeup, cars -- they're essentially useless. They're all just illusions derived from our ego that program us to believe we need them. Maybe the human needs them, but the soul doesn't.

The soul, also known as our divine self or higher consciousness, knows that all we need to do in this life is be. That's our only requirement. Everything else is extra. The soul is the only truth; everything else is a lie. Our soul's, stripped from our ego and everything else we identify with, only purpose is to achieve the greatest state of contentment. The soul isn't focused on money or material goods because they're only temporary. This outer shell known as a body? It's only our temporary home which expires once we leave the physical realm. It's only on loan to us for a short time. The soul, however, is eternal. When we die, the soul leaves the body and returns home to its original state.

How much simpler would life be if we were stripped down to the bare minimum? Then, we'd finally break free of the illusions we've been programmed to believe our entire lives. We'd finally wake up and realize what's truly important

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
